Directed by Joseph Ruben

“How did you sleep? Have any dreams?”

Its GRINDFEST 2025! We’re kick starting our 3-day genre event with the classic and criminally underrated 1984 sci-fi fantasy horror feature, DREAMSCAPE. Released the same year as A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, this almost forgotten classic is often overshadowed by Wes Craven’s huge box success. It’s time to re-appraise DREAMSCAPE!

A man who can enter and manipulate people's dreams is recruited by a government agency to help cure the President of the United States of his nightmares about nuclear war but stumbles upon an assassination plot.

“What are you kids watching?”

GRINDFEST day one continues with Joe Dante’s THE HOWLING and takes the werewolf genre by the scruff of the neck and gives it a firm shake, creating something that feels both schlocky and subversive in equal measure. Fresh from Joe’s collaboration with Roger Corman, the film is a blend of 1980s sleaze and wry genre deconstruction, delivering fur, fangs, and some impressive practical effects that were groundbreaking for their time from FX guru Rob Bottin and protégé Rick Baker.

After a bizarre and near deadly encounter with a serial killer, a television newswoman heads to a remote mountain resort whose residents may not be what they seem...

A must-see video rental of the 1980s, XTRO is one of the most outrageously bizarre, gory and insanely enjoyable horror films of its time.

“You'll forgive me if I don't stay around to watch. I just can't cope with the freaky stuff.”

Last year, David Cronenberg’s THE FLY wowed the GRINDFEST crowd, this year we’re delighted to bring another of his timeless classics to the festival.

Amoral TV station president Max Renn, on a constant quest to find boundary-pushing new content, is exposed to hyper-violent imagery via an illicit broadcast channel. Instantly enamoured by the footage, he becomes obsessed with finding its source. As he watches more and delves deeper into the underground world that controls the footage, his sense of reality begins to warp, and disturbing hallucinations manifest in the flesh. Is Renn losing his mind or experiencing the next step in human and technological evolution? Cronenberg’s graphic body-horror is on full display as he explores the melding of technology and human biology.

Starring Don Wilson, Michael Berryman, Linnea Quigley

1984/2021 | 85m | USA | (18) | 1.85:1

“Why? Why is this happening? Why won't anyone do anything? I don't understand. Why? Why? Why?”

John is just an average man working as a sound technician for a New York City news station, until one day his pregnant wife is brutally murdered after witnessing the kidnapping of a young woman in broad daylight. Turning to the police for help, John soon learns that the city is overrun with crime and the police are too busy to help. Dressing as a white ninja, John takes to the streets as a sword wielding vigilante hell bent on cleaning up the streets of the city he once loved by ridding it of muggers, pickpockets, rapists, and gang members. However, in John’s quest for justice, he soon finds himself the target of every criminal in the city, including a mysterious villain known only as the Plutonium Killer. Will John survive to become the hero that New York City so desperately needs?

Originally directed by and starring martial arts actor John Liu (The Secret Rivals, Invincible Armor) in his only American production, New York Ninja was filmed entirely on 35mm in 1984, but the project was abandoned during production resulting in all original sound materials, scripts, and treatments going missing. 35 years later, Vinegar Syndrome acquired the original unedited camera negative and painstakingly constructed and completed the film. Enlisting the voice talents of genre favorites: Don “The Dragon” Wilson (Bloodfist, Whatever it Takes), Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead, Nightmare Sisters), Michael Berryman (The Hills have Eyes, Auntie Lee’s Meat Pies), Vince Murdocco (Night Hunter, LA Wars), Matt Mitler (The Mutilator, Battle for the Lost Planet), Leon Isaac Kennedy (Lone Wolf McQuade, Penitentiary), Ginger Lynn Allen (The Devil’s Rejects, Vice Academy), and Cynthia Rothrock (China O’Brien, Martial Law) .

Following on from their NODA award nominated production of “The Pirates of Penzance” last year, to celebrate the society’s 40th anniversary, Christchurch Gilbert and Sullivan Society are very pleased to announce that they have selected "The Yeomen of the Guard" as their September production for this year.

"Yeomen", subtitled 'The Merryman and His Maid', was the 11th of the Savoy Operettas, premiered in October 1888 and ran for 423 performances. It is set in the Tower of London during King Henry VIII's reign and is the most emotionally engaging of all their works. Critics considered the score to be Sullivan's finest and the libretto contains considerable humour. The plot is quite intricate but the complexities are all finally and cleverly resolved.

This will be a traditional production of "The Yeomen of the Guard" and one which we feel will bring fun and entertainment to the whole family. Skilfully directed by Adam Davies and David Sandham, last year’s very successful team, the show will be accompanied by a talented 16-piece orchestra under the skilled hands of musical director and conductor Ieuan Davies.

Please note that we offer a very attractive ticket price for under-18s and students to encourage the next generation of G&S aficionados. Ticket Information Standard: £20 Concessions: £19 Under 18s and Students: £8

SIMON YATES – PLEASURE & PAIN

Presented by Speakers from the Edge

‘Touching the Void’ mountaineer, Simon Yates, is a veteran of over eighty expeditions to high/remote mountains around the globe and shows no signs of slowing down. This is his story of the last decade, of new adventures and climbs in the far north and south, along with summits in South America, Central Asia and the Himalaya.

In 2023, Simon travelled with legendary British mountaineer Mick Fowler to attempt the un-climbed north face of Patkhor in Tajikistan, but contracted food poisoning from their freeze-dried food on just the second day. After some debate, they continued, but this was just the beginning of a series of events that would see them run out of food, retreat below the summit in a storm and Simon taking a bone-breaking 100m fall during the descent. After two days of lying on the glacier waiting for a helicopter, rescuers finally arrived but were unable to carry Simon down. Somehow, he would need to summon the energy for the painful three day walk to safety.

A survival classic, with the added twists of a fast-paced thriller. Ticket Information All tickets: £20.50

1 85-year-old Man, 5 Countries, 16 Cities, 23 shows, 6 weeks.

Will he make it home … or is this the end of the road?

One of the most recognisable figures in British comedy, John Cleese’s career spans six decades - from his early days with the Cambridge Footlights to co-founding Monty Python, co-creating Fawlty Towers, and writing and starring in the Oscar-nominated “A Fish Called Wanda”. His unique brand of black humour has made him a global icon and intergalactic treasure.

At the age of eighty five, John Cleese sets off on what might be his final European tour - five countries, sixteen cities, twenty-three shows, and retaining just two original body parts. “John Cleese Packs It In” is a wry, behind-the-scenes portrait of a comedy legend on the road, battling various ailments, chaotic travel, and his own stubborn refusal to stop.

Spanning six weeks on the road, the film captures Cleese unfiltered and on the move - riffing on life, fame, and the absurdity of getting old in front of thousands of fans. As he reflects on a stage career that began in 1963, the question lingers: is this the end of the road?

With unique and intimate access and showing unexpected tenderness, this is a documentary about legacy, laughter, and the dignity of bowing out… however reluctantly. Ticket Information All tickets: £13

1993 | 130m | USA | (15) | 2.35:1 | 35mm| Dolby Stereo

'If God was a villain, he'd be me'

1993 was dominated by dinosaurs and Arnold Schwarzenegger was starting to look slightly long in the tooth at 46 years old. The posters for Last Action Hero promised it would be “The Big Ticket for ’93”, but Columbia Pictures’ $85M surefire smash underperformed. The studio had been rattled by the lukewarm response from preview screenings, but had nevertheless stuck to their guns and went head to head with Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. As Jack Slater himself might say, “big mistake”.

But, LAST ACTION HERO remains a cult favourite and has aged better than expected mainly due to the concept of a young movie fan thrown into the fictional world of his favourite action film character being ahead of its time.

Dirt in the Gate Movies are delighted to bring John McTiernan's big action spectacle in its original 35mm format to the Regent! Ticket Information All tickets: £13
