Physical media is back! Reel Cult, based at Crookes Social Club, deliver two VHS specials back2back as part of Sheffield Film Festival this Saturday!
Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies and Videotapes galvanised the US independent film movement, with the 'home video revolution' opening new channels to mass audiences. Starring James Spader and Andie MacDowell, it's an impressive debut, and a nuanced take on neurosis and human sexuality. See it from 18.00.
Then, Gore Verbinski's take on The Ring, an underrated gem in the torrent of 2000's J-Horror remakes. Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) has just seven days to unravel the horrific curse surrounding a mysterious video. Come and see the magnetic tape roll for yourself.... if you dare! From 20.30.
🎟️ SFF x Reel Cult Cinema: VHS Screenings (15) | Sat 16 Aug @ 18.00 and 20.30
