ISLAND OF DEATH 18
Sunday 24 October (2.45)
Director Nico Mastorakis
Greece 1975, 1h48m
Celebrating twenty-five years since the introduction of the Video Recordings Act, Arrow Video brings Glasgow patrons this exclusive screening of the Greek exploitation classic Island of Death. This insane blood and gore epic (one of the original video nasties) is both damning of right wing morality and also darkly hilarious. This screening will be followed by a Q&A session with director Nico Mastorakis.
UK PREMIERE
STALKER (AKA EXPOSE) N/C 18+
Sunday 24 October (5.30)
Director Martin Kemp
UK 2010, 1h28m
Continuing the ‘video nasty’ vibe is this remake of the 1976 shocker Expose (premiering under its new title Stalker), directed by erstwhile Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp and featuring Hollywood sex siren Jane March (The Lover, Colour of Night). Here, March plays a writer struggling with her second novel who is soon terrorised by a homicidal PA. What follows is madness, murder and a rather untoward set piece with a cat! This screening will be followed by a Q&A session with producer Jonathan Sothcott.

DEMONS 18
Sunday 24 October (8.00)
Director Lamberto Bava
Italy 1985, 1h28, subtitles
One of the biggest and bloodiest Italian horror classics of the 1980s, Demons returns to the big screen for one night only. Directed by Lamberto Bava, son of the legendary Mario Bava, and produced by Dario Argento, this zombie shocker tells of an outbreak of flesh hungry ghouls inside a locked cinema.
Prior to Demons, we’ll screen a trailer reel of Ruggero Deodato’s infamous 1980 shocker Cannibal Holocaust. The film’s leading lady Francesca Ciardi will join us after the screening.
Following Demons will be Q&A session with the film’s special effects wizard Sergio Stivaletti.
A day pass is available for £22/£18. A further discount of £4 off the pass is applied for CineCards, see www.gft.org.uk/cinecard for details.
