When a mysterious masked man hands out tickets to a film screening at the Metropol cinema in Berlin, little do the recipients know that what they are in for is an experience far more intense than a Christopher Nolan film at the IMAX.
Produced by Dario Argento and directed by Italian Maestro Mario Bava's son Lamberto, Demons is an incredibly entertaining, heavy metal-infused slice of eighties horror madness, where the victims have big hair and the onscreen monsters come down into the audience to bite your face off.
Join us at the Electric Palace to celebrate our twentieth anniversary in style with this brand new 4K restoration, and pray that you do not become the demon's next victim...

About The Cult Film Club EXTREME
The brainchild of film historian Dr Adrian Smith, The Cult Film Club was established in Eastbourne in 2018 following a screening of Evil Dead II at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre. A season of highly entertaining films followed, including such classics as The Warriors, The Man With Two Brains and Enter the Dragon before the club relocated to the Towner Cinema where fans gathered for The Thing, Labyrinth, Heathers and The Dead, before lockdown intervened.
This new EXTREME version of the club sees us bringing a mix of films to the Electric Palace that are shocking, controversial, or just extremely silly. With an emphasis on crowd-pleasing, a good time is guaranteed for all brave enough to join us.
