Dear Members,
80 attended the last film Save The Cinema and gave it a score of 86%.Who knew the Go Compare man was part of that.when he was young.
The film on Wednesday is Dead of Winter storing Emma Thompson. This film was recommended to us by one of our members,It was a shame we weren't able to get the rights to show it in the winter season. This film is an action packed thriller, a grief stricken widow stops at a remote cabin after getting lost.and encounters a murderous couple holding a young woman hostage.
We are always happy to consider your recommendations.
Look forward to seeing you .
