A event held at Sidney & Eden on Monday 30th October. The event starts at 19:00.
Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Freaks FREE ENTRY! (Double-Bill with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre starting at 8pm)
Now regarded as a landmark film but virtually disowned by MGM when it was first produced, Tod Browning's film, set in a travelling circus, works as an old-fashioned morality play against avarice. Browning used a collection of handicapped actors and performers for the circus community, which initially welcomes the beautiful trapeze artist Cleopatra into their group when she marries midget circus owner, Hans. However, as it becomes clear that Cleopatra is only after Hans' money, and is conducting an affair with the strongman, the close-knit clan of 'freaks' plan a revenge.
Grindhouse Cinema Club every Monday at Sidney & Eden playing indie, exploitation & low-budget movies on our 10ft projector screen, always free entry and all welcome!
