THE DESCENT at Redcliffe Caves
Where better to watch a cave-based horror film than in a cave complex…?
Due to massive demand, we’ve added an extra screening of The Descent. Tickets always go fast for this, but watching it in the Caves is a truly immersive, and terrifying, experience, and possibly unsuitable for anyone with severe claustrophobia. It’s the ultimate way to experience Horror In The Caves – but you have been warned!
IT FOLLOWS at Redcliffe Caves
The tension is as relentless as the antagonist in this 21st Century nightmare
Another modern classic celebrating its 10th anniversary this year is the haunting It Follows. It’s a wickedly simple premise, executed with aplomb and has a truly nightmarish aura that will linger long in the memory. With a sequel only recently confirmed, and lead actress Taika Monroe currently starring in occult chiller Longlegs, now is the perfect time to catch it - before it catches you…

THE GRUDGE at Redcliffe Caves
“Once you see it, you can never forget. Once it sees you, you can never escape”
Join us for a 20th anniversary screening of The Grudge in Redcliffe Caves this October. Japanese filmmaker Takashi Shimizu directed this English-language remake of his 2002 hit Ju-On: The Grudge, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Bill Pullman; it’s a deeply unnerving watch with some of the most iconic imagery of early 2000s horror cinema!
THE BABADOOK at Redcliffe Caves
Have you met Mr Babadook? Come to the Caves - you’ll see him if you look
Somehow, it’s already time to celebrate the 10th birthday of The Babadook! This harrowing psychological chiller was part of our very first Horror In The Caves programme way back in March 2016, and we’re excited to bring it back to the Caves for an anniversary screening. Top hats off to first time director Jennifer Kent for this astonishing debut, which is one of the creepiest films of the century so far…
CAT PEOPLE (1942) at Redcliffe Caves
When you just can’t shake off that lingering feline of dread…
For Sunday’s Matinee Screening at Horror In The Caves, we’re thrilled to present a special showing of Cat People, kindly licensed by the BFI. This 2K digital restoration brings out the eerie beauty of this creature feature noir’s stylish shadows and chiaroscuro lighting; it’s a moody and suspenseful alternative to the monster movie shtick of the 1940s, with one of the most celebrated jump scares in history…!
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET at Redcliffe Caves
40 years on, and we’re still not truly ready for Freddy
We’re rounding off our day of 1984 films with a late night screening of one of the most iconic horror films of all time, A Nightmare On Elm Street. The franchise may have put its instantly recognisable villain through the injustices of numerous inferior sequels (and THAT novelty rap) but Freddy Kreuger’s delightfully creepy debut still has the power to haunt your dreams.
GHOSTBUSTERS at Redcliffe Caves
There is no witty caption. Only Zuul.
The day of 1984 horror classics at Redcliffe Caves continues with Ghostbusters. The franchise is still going strong four decades on, but nothing tops the original - strap on your proton packs and prepare for the Stay-Puftapocalypse!
CHILDREN OF THE CORN (1984) at Redcliffe Caves
In Gatlin, Nebraska, you reap more than you sow
Our day of 1984 horror films continues with a double bill of Stephen King adaptations. Children Of The Corn is a lo-fi, gruesome tale featuring some of the creepiest children in the horror movie canon; add in a pre-Terminator Linda Hamilton, some beautifully unsettling scenery and some subtle political commentary, and you’ve got a true cult classic!
FIRESTARTER (1984) at Redcliffe Caves
Drew Barrymore blazes a trail as a preternatural young prodigy
The double bill of 1984 Stephen King adaptations continues at Redciiffe Caves. Firestarter is full of searing pyrotechnical special effects, and a young Drew Barrymore provides a memorable turn in this adaptation of one of King’s more thought-provoking sci-fi chillers, which was surely a major influence on Stranger Things.
GREMLINS at Redcliffe Caves
They’ll be expecting you… and this October, so will we!
Saturday’s programme at Redcliffe Caves is dedicated to 1984, a fantastic year for cult classic horror releases, so we’re celebrating some 40th birthdays - starting with Gremlins! This cult comedy-horror has its own wicked spin on the festive spirit, making it one of the few films that works well at Halloween or Christmas (or both, if you’re like us!).

The seminal 50s sci-fi thriller that got every body talking
Our discounted Matinee Screenings of vintage horror return to the Caves on Saturday and Sunday mornings, starting with the seminal sci-fi chiller Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Based on Jack Finney’s novel - which turns 70 this year - and shot in a film noir style, this 50s classic is both a gripping extraterrestrial thriller and a wry commentary on McCarthyism, and remains as eerie as ever…
SAW at Redcliffe Caves
A deadly puzzle where nobody wants to be missing pieces…
On Friday evening, we’re bringing a 20th anniversary screening of the very first Saw film to Redcliffe Caves. It’s spawned a juggernaut of an ongoing franchise, but the fiendishly simple concept of the original is still yet to be topped - you’ll be watching through your fingers and counting your toes…!

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW at Redcliffe Caves
Filmed on location in a subterranean setting scarier than fiction
Take a deep breath before watching the horrifying found-footage chiller As Above, So Below. The first film to be shot almost entirely within Paris’ infamous catacombs (which is creepy enough in itself!), it charts a documentary crew’s search for the secret to eternal life descending into hell on earth…

CUBE at Redcliffe Caves
To escape, they’ll have to think outside the box

DON'T BREATHE at Redcliffe Caves
This home invasion horror reminds us never to judge a book by its cover
Our Sunday screenings at Horror In The Caves in 2023 are dedicated to a range of claustrophobia-inducing horror films. Starting off the afternoon is the agonisingly tense Don’t Breathe. What starts as a crime thriller quickly spirals into a survival horror that will leave you white-knuckled and holding your breath along with the characters!

Few other horror actors can hold a candle to the great Vincent Price

MISERY at Redcliffe Caves
Two’s a crowd at Annie Wilkes’ house, but misery loves company…
Horror In The Caves 2023 continues with Misery, the only Stephen King film to date to win an Oscar (and a rare win for the horror genre too). Once you’ve seen Kathy Bates’ giddily unhinged winning turn - including one of the most wince-inducing scenes in horror history - you’ll understand why!
PET SEMATARY (1989) at Redcliffe Caves
In the sleepy town of Ludlow, Maine, a pet is for life - and then some…
Our subterranean Stephen King screenings continue with the original big screen adaptation of Pet Sematary, a novel so nasty that King almost didn’t publish it. The film remains faithful to the wonderfully creepy source material, and is responsible for a whole generation ensuring that they never left their feet dangling over the edge of their beds at night…
CARRIE (1976) at Redcliffe Caves
The original Stephen King adaptation should be on every horror fan’s bucket list
Our Saturday screenings at Horror In The Caves in 2023 are dedicated to adaptations of novels by the master of horror Stephen King.

Who said what you can’t see can’t hurt you…?
Our Matinee Screenings, showcase vintage films from the horror vault, return to the Caves on Saturday and Sunday mornings, starting with a 90th anniversary screening of The Invisible Man. Claude Rains excels as the titular mad scientist in his breakthrough role, and the mixture of groundbreaking SFX, dark humour and surreal sequences make this a wickedly eerie, genre-defying treat even nine decades on.

28 DAYS LATER at Redcliffe Caves
If you wake up from a coma in a nightmare, put on your running shoes
