It Lives Inside15

Directed by Bishal Dutta | USA | 2023 | 1h 39m | Starring Megan Suri, Neeru Bajwa, Mohana Krishnan, Betty Gabriel, Vik Sahay

An Indian-American teenager, struggling with her cultural identity and desperate to fit in at school, rejects her heritage while seeking acceptance from her peers. Unintentionally, she unleashes a malevolent entity that attaches itself to her former best friend, forcing her to confront her own roots in a bid to save them both. An eerily compelling and thought-provoking horror film with a strong undercurrent of social commentary, directed by first-time feature filmmaker Bishal Dutta.

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 don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
