One of the most famous silent movies of all time, F. W. Murnau’s unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula still haunts audiences today 100 years after its release. With its unforgettable imagery and Max Schreck’s chilling performance, Nosferatu set the template for countless horror films that followed. A one-off screening accompanied by a live score by Bristol four-piece group Minima.

Reviews

‘There is pure expressionist inspiration in Murnau’s juxtaposition of the malign wolves and the terrified old women: a poetry of fear.’

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘So this is it: ground zero, the birth of horror cinema.’
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
