GAME (2025) — “a psychedelic Deliverance” w/ Sleaford Mods videos pre-show
December 12 : 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
“Taut, lean and claustrophobic… Portishead’s Geoff Barrow teams with comic book writer Rob Williams to pen a tightly-wound, unexpected rave-era thriller that delivers the goods.” – Little White Lies
In late summer 1993, a tense and claustrophobic battle of wills and wits unfolds after aging raver David (Marc Bessant) steals a stash of money and drugs, then crashes his car deep in the woods. Trapped in the wreckage, injured and helpless, he hangs suspended between life and death. When a mysterious poacher (Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson) discovers him, no rescue comes— only a watchful, unsettling presence that seems intent on letting nature finish the job. As the hours stretch and the elements close in, survival hinges on outlasting both the wilderness and the predator at its edge.
Come out early for a selection of videos and live clips of the immortal Sleaford Mods, starting at 5:30 pm.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…
“Wonderuflly twisted”
“A wonderfully twisted thriller. One hell of a time.”
James King
“A psychedelic Deliverance“
“A euphoric rush. Astutely focused and disciplined in storytelling, trapping the deeply uncomfortable interplay between the main characters… A psychedelic Deliverance“
Flush the Fashion
“Brilliantly trippy”
“A brilliantly trippy clash of minds that’s as precisely measured as the wraps of illicit powder these two are caning — and resonant enough to recall classic psychological two-handers like Sleuth.”
