As the witching hour approaches, you will be glued to your seats with the Festival’s inaugural Night Shift collection, our take on ‘midnight movies’. When it comes to the ghoulish and ghastly, this killer program embraces the cult classics of tomorrow and yesteryear – cinema that tears at the throat of convention.

Be warned: Night Shift is not for the faint hearted.
