Ed Wood15
Tim Burton’s biopic is a beautifully made tribute to Wood and the era of 1950s exploitation films in which he worked. Instead of laughing at Wood and his work, Burton’s film invites the audience into its lovingly crafted storyworld to meet the cast of marginalised people at its centre: a celebrity psychic, a TV horror host, a faded film star addicted to morphine, and Wood himself, the cross-dressing writer, director and actor. Part of the Fright’s Out! season, with an introduction by Dr Michael Goodrum.
Screening as a double-bill with Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space on Saturday 4th October. Click here to buy a ticket for the double-bill.
Reviews
‘A glorious homage to the power of film in general and one of Burton’s finest moments.’
Bob McCabe, Empire Magazine
‘Burton imitates Wood ‘s films brilliantly, and Wood ‘s chaotic lifestyle is brought to the screen with brio.’
Derek Malcolm, The Guardian

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!
