02/10/2026

Join us in a celebration of bargain bin cinema, of the filmmaking masterpieces you see at supermarkets and think 'What? That is a real film was was made by humans and is now in front of me?'

No tricks. Some treats. Just a very questionable film, bizarre creative decisions, and the creeping suspicion that maybe you should’ve watched something else.

Each film pick will be a total mystery until the first frames hit the cinema screen.

Come curious. Leave traumatised.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE STORY.

Five college friends spend the weekend at a remote cabin in the woods, where they get more than they bargained for. Together, they must discover the truth behind the cabin in the woods.

From fan favourites Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard comes The Cabin in the Woods, a mind blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out.

Kim Jee-woon (who brought you A Tale of Two Sisters, The Good, The Bad and the Weird) has built a successful and brilliant career with films that challenge the conventions of film genres with previous films tackling horror, westerns and noir with a powerful visual effect. He now turns his attention to the revenge film with startling effect. The film centres on the characters as opposed to the chase to find the culprit responsible as the two protagonists transform into what each loathes the most.

By day, Kyung-chul (Choi Min-shik, Oldboy) is a school bus driver, happily and safely ferrying children to and from school. But this is a mask he wears because at night, he transforms into his true nature; one of the most disturbing and sadistic serial killers Korea has ever known. One evening, a young women, Ju-yeon, falls into the manic murder’s sights, resulting in a brutal homicide.

Soo-hyun (Lee Byung-hun, No Other Choice, Squid Game) is a federal agent and Ju-yeon his fiancee. Upon being informed of her death, unable to deal with his grief, Soo-hyun leaves a bloody trail in his wake as he turns the hunter into the hunted with the intention of torturing his lover’s killer in the same manner she was.

Social codes and conventions become fateful in a captivating and satirical nail-biter about a Danish family who becomes ensnared in a situation they find it increasingly difficult to escape.

During a vacation to Toscana, Louise and Bjørn meet a Dutch couple who has a son of the same age as their daughter. A few months later they are invited to visit the Dutch family and decide to go, but what is anticipated to be a pleasant reunion radically changes when they become more closely acquainted with the Dutch’s couple’s habits and odd view of, not least, child rearing. The strained and tense atmosphere is brought to a head in this anxious thriller that plays with our proclivity to always be amiable and not cause trouble.

(The Original! Not the James McAvoy version)

Police Lt. Kinderman (George C. Scott) notices similarities between his current murder investigation and the methods used by the Gemini killer (Brad Dourif) who was executed 15 years before. He soon discovers a hospitalized mental patient (Jason Miller) claiming to be the dead serial killer, but who looks uncannily like a priest Kinderman knew who died during an exorcism. As more bodies are found, Kinderman looks for connections between the two supposedly dead men.

Having won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the adaptation of his own novel, THE EXORCIST, William Peter Blatty steps into the role of director for the adaptation of his literary follow-up, LEGION. Upon its 1990 release, THE EXORCIST III met with mixed audience reception, in part due to just how different it is from the original, but over the years this deeply psychological and philosophical supernatural horror has earned ever growing audience appreciation.

Funnier, more intelligent and arguably scarier than the original, THE EXORCIST III is a true horror gem that Reel Gems Film Club is proud to be screening as part of CULTPLEX's annual STAB Horror Season.

This thesis on auto-canibalism and voyuerism stands as a slight outlier in the New Extremity movement, being one of the few films directed, written and starring a woman. A precursor to the works of Julia Ducournau and Coralie Fargeat (and undoubtedly an influence on RAW) this film is a deeply distressing, incredibly resonant and shocking portrayal of the dysmorphia forced upon women under patriarchal society.

Esther (director Marina de Van) develops a fixation on her own flesh following an injury at a party that triggers within her the desire for self-mutilation. Featuring a very small cast of disturbing French film all stars including Laurent Lucas (Raw, Calvaire, Pola X), Léa Drucker (Last Summer, Incredible But True) and Dominique Reymond (Demonlover, Ma Mere, Junkyard Dog) it's a very singular film that almost defies definition.

We all float down here!

In 1990, ABC presented a two-night TV miniseries event, based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel of the same name, written by Lawrence D. Cohen and directed by Tommy Lee Wallace. The series went on to become perhaps one of the greatest TV Horror Adaptations of all time.

Set in 1960, seven outcast kids known as “The Losers’ Club” fight against an ancient shape-shifting alien who poses as a child-killing clown, while also dealing with bullies and abusive parents. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the creature once and for all when it returns to their hometown.

It was, at the time, total nightmare fodder fun. IT, which was later released in a popular two-tape VHS set, featured the iconic Tim Curry as an indelibly humoured version of the killer clown.

Now CULTPLEX brings IT to the big screen! https://bit.ly/4ArAIAn

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: every day, once a day, give yourself a present.

Don't plan it; don't wait for it; just let it happen. It could be a new shirt in a men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black, coffee. (or maybe a CULTPLEX membership??)

Members Badges for 2026 are now available for collection from the venue!
