Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

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

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!
