Directed by Park Chan-wook | South Korea | 2025 | 2h 19m | Korean w/ English subtitles | Starring Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Woo Seung Kim, So Yul Choi, Yoo Yeon-seok

When Yoo Man-su, a devoted family man and longtime paper company employee, is abruptly laid off after 25 years of service, the carefully constructed life he has worked for begins to unravel. Desperate to secure his next job, he devises a chilling plan to eliminate his competitors by any means necessary. Based on Donald E. Westlake’s satirical horror-thriller The Ax, Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden) delivers a thrillingly wicked film marked by his signature dark humour, sharp twists, and striking visual style.

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!
