This scathing satire of military might takes you to the heart of the ugly bugs’ crawl

Just in time for Halloween, we’re bringing a double bill of 90s nastiness to the Planetarium, starting with the bombastic Starship Troopers. The irony of Paul Verhoeven’s startling send-up of fascism went over some contemporary critics’ heads, but its cult reputation as an action-packed sci-fi satire endures. Would you like to know more?

Where better to watch a cave-based horror film than in a cave complex…?

The tension is as relentless as the antagonist in this 21st Century nightmare

Another modern classic celebrating its 10th anniversary this year is the haunting It Follows.

We’re rounding off our day of 1984 films with a late night screening of one of the most iconic horror films of all time, A Nightmare On Elm Street.
