welcome!
What says Autumn more than getting cozy in the cinema, warm cup of coffee in hand and Daisy Edgar Jones running through a field of wheat in the latest adaptation of Sense & Sensibility (cover)?
But if you’re not in a Jane Austen type of mood, don’t worry! You can get spooked all month long with the fifth year of HORROR-FORD, with classics like Dracula (1958) and Carrie (1976), or brand-new thrills Colony and Other Mommy! If you’re looking for something a little smaller in scale, we’ve got some great independent titles including the French hit Just an Illusion, and an ongoing war between two farmers in Derek v Derek.
