Camp. Gore. Murder. Movies.
On Thursday 23rd October, Be Kind Rewind Bristol teams up again with Bristol Queer Cinema Club** for a Halloween season special: the gloriously gory, fabulously camp All About Evil (2010).
When shy librarian Deborah inherits her father’s rundown cinema, she discovers a killer way to draw in audiences; by making her own short horror films, with real victims and real blood. Soon the screenings become a sensation, but keeping the cameras rolling means the body count just keeps climbing…
Part midnight movie, part love letter to exploitation cinema, All About Evil is a riot of camp performances, splatter effects, and insider movie-geek in-jokes. It’s equal parts John Waters, Herschell Gordon Lewis, and a dash of Rocky Horror. A cult classic in the making, with a heart as big as its buckets of blood.
Come for the gore. Stay for the glamour. This one is made to be watched with a crowd.
• The Ill Repute, Old Market – downstairs cinema room
• Doors 7pm / Film 8pm sharp – no late entry, limited seating
• Free entry, no booking needed
• Cocktails & drinks upstairs — bring one down to the show
** Bristol Queer Cinema Club is a casual meetup group that visits local cinemas across Bristol to watch new releases, cult classics, re-releases, indie and everything in between.
A message from BQCC host Izzy:
“Horror is a rich tapestry for queer expression. We see ourselves in the shocking, the perverse, the deviant, the monstrous. Our experiences blend with the terrors we see on screen. We lay wait in our closets and scare the village kids when we emerge: like movie monsters, causing panic and fear. We interrupt the body. But the intersection is undeniable. We are “other”, we threaten and we inspire.
So I’m psyched to collab with Be Kind Rewind Bristol to host a handful of queer horror film offerings across October. Thank you so much for having us!
