BT’s Sitges Night Stages Start Tomorrow

sitges_film_fest_2480x3508As this post goes to ‘press’ (as in: I click ‘Publish’) Bone Tomahawk will be in the middle of a screening at the BFI London Film Festival.  Its second of the event.

There’s no rest for the wicked, however, because from late tomorrow night it will start the first of three showings at the Sitges International Film Festival in the Spanish town of Sitges.

After midnight late on Monday the horror western movie will be shown at the Tramuntana cinema, which is part of the Hotel Melia facilities.

That is followed up less that 24 hours later at another cinema, the Auditori, at the same hotel.

Another post-midnight screening, this time at Cine El Retiro in Sitges town, happens on Wednesday.

Tickets may still be available (my Spanish is not up to it).  Find details via official website.

Bone Tomahawk At BFI Tomorrow

bfi_film_fest_756x538Bone Tomahawk has bounced around the USA a lot already.

Austin, Texas.  Charlotte, North Carolina.  Miami, Florida.  Hollywood, California.  Phoenix, Arizona.

The film has been shown in them all in the past week or so.

Things are going to change tomorrow with the first of two screenings over the weekend during the British Film Institute London Film Festival.  9:15pm on Saturday and 2:15pm on Sunday to be precise.

The whole event started on Wednesday and continues until the following Sunday (18th Oct).  Apparently there will be an impressive 240 films across the 12 days.

At the time of writing tickets are still available for both showings of Bone Tomahawk via the BFI website HERE.

BBFC Gives BT An 18

poster_002_1500x2215It was bound to happen.

It had to happen.

It really did.

Just ahead of the Bone Tomahawk showing at the BFI Film Festival, a month before the screening in the Abertoir event, and way ahead of the December general release of the movie in this part of the world, the UK rating organisation the BBFC has rendered its verdict.

Without the rating it is unlikely the film could be shown.  It would require specific approval from the local council for a cinema to show it.

The film has been given the 18 rating, meaning, not surprisingly, that only those 18 years of age and older can legally watch it.

The brief reason given is, not surprisingly given the subject matter:

  • strong violence

You can read more details of the content that lead to that decision on the BBFC website HERE.  I don’t think the text is particularly spoiler-laden, but you have been warned.

The UK December 11th release date, predicted here on KM UK back in September, has been confirmed recently.

Bone Tomahawk Goes For A Telluride

telluride_horror_show_1350x1725Maybe it’s the thin air.

Telluride is at over 2,500m (8,200ft) elevation above sea level, up in the mountains of south west Colorado.  And, it’s in a deep, narrow valley too.  There’s lots of mountain left above the town.

For the sixth time Telluride is holding a horror themed film festival over a long weekend, starting on Friday the 16th of October.

The Telluride Horror Show is a relatively new addition to the social calendar, they’ve had a regular film festival since the mid-70s.

A back-to-back showing (the first starts at 5:30pm) at the Nugget Theatre of Bone Tomahawk closes the event on Sunday night.  Just how many more festivals can this movie close?

The festival comprises of another 20 feature films, some of them from outside the US, most of them quite new.  There are a couple of classics in the mix too: The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Return Of The Living Dead.

There are also nearly 50 short films, again from all over the world, shown in various themed blocks.

All the details, including for tickets, can be found on the official website.

Bone Tomahawk @ IHSFF Showcase Tomorrow

ihsff_horror_showcase_220x184In the continuing run of screenings of zomhorwest (zombie horror western, I just made it up) movie Bone Tomahawk next up we have International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival Fall Horror Showcase.

Each day of the event at the Harkins Scottsdale 101 Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, a different film is shown.

Day 1 horcom (horror comedy) The Final Girls gets an airing just a few days before its release.  It’s got quite a cast too: Taissa Farmiga (The Bling Ring), Malin Akerman (Watchmen), Adam DeVine (Modern Family), Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games) and Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries).  The daughter of a famous horror film actress is somehow transported into the movie world during a screening.

Day 2 it’s Bite (no silly portmanteau, it’s a horror).  Bride-to-be (or should it be ‘bee’) is bitten by an insect and starts to transform into one.  Creepy… crawly.

And on the last night, closing another event, it’s Bone Tomahawk.  You know about that one.
