Headfirst Editor's Pick
"2 x brutally transgressive ‘96 throwbacks from Heavy Pictures! Freeway catapults Reese Witherspoon’s streetwise Red Riding Hood into a world of gang violence, alongside Kiefer Sutherland’s grimly gleeful turn as the Big Bad Wolf. Plus, Cronenberg twists Ballard’s tale of car-crash fetishism into a chilling exploration of eroticized technophilia. Worth it just for the James Spader x Rosanna Arquette leg love scene on the Megascreen..."

Heavy Pictures Presents is honoured to welcome you to an unhinged special screening. Celebrating 2 cult classics as they mark 30 years of turning heads and stomachs.
Our first double bill and we were going big by taking over the Bristol Megascreen - because there's no better place to see these films than on a former IMAX screen.
Freeway (1996) - Film starts 5.45pm
Kicking off our evening is Matthew Bright's twisted take on the tale of Red Riding Hood. We follow Reece Weatherspoon, a troubled teen from an even more troubled family. Her situation escalates, and she's on the road when she bumps into ultra-friendly Kiefer Sutherland as he offers her a ride. His intentions are less than warming. An absolute riot of a black comedy.
TRIGGER WARNINGS - sexual assault, racist language, offensive language,
Crash (1996) Film starts 8pm
David Cronenberg's Crash still holds a high title for being one of the most controversial films of the 90s and well, ever... spearheaded by a tabloid press campaign that would see it banned by Westminster council. nominated for a Palme d'Or at Cannes and rejected, possibly by a Hollywood legend?
Crash is an adaptation of J.g Ballard's novel that follows the story of a group of people whose fetish and desire lies within car crashes
This is certainly a film to be seen to be believed and is better than seeing this on the biggest screen in the south west.
TW: bodily harm, trauma, injury detail
