Die Before You Die15

Directed by Dan Pringle | UK | 2024 | 1h 44m | Starring Ziad Abaza, Priya Blackburn, Falah Hashim, Laurent C. Lucas, Harry Reid

A hot-headed influencer finds himself trapped six feet underground after an internet challenge goes dramatically wrong. With no idea who buried him or whether they’ll return to dig him up, he faces a desperate fight for survival while undergoing a profound spiritual awakening. Starring Ziad Abaza in a gripping solo performance, this tense psychological thriller explores the dark side of social media and the spiritual toll it can take.

Reviews

‘This sort of claustrophobic, almost one-man show depends a lot, obviously, on how engaging and range-capable the lead performer is. Abaza, thankfully, is very good.’
Leslie Felperin, The Guardian

Plan your visit

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!
