Our recent recommendations for The Ill Repute
Free entry! The original cult B movie train wreck - Plan 9 is so full of schlocky FX and strange decisions it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious. Bela Lugosi leads a cast of existentially confused Martian vampires in this flawed/flawless sci-fi horror comedy, later immortalised in Tim Burton’s Ed Wood biopic.
Plan 9 From Outer Space at The Ill Repute.
Dreams drenched in static! Bring your earplugs and come bathe in Cremation Lily’s emo-static noiseworld - slowcore torchsongs for recovering noise/power-electronics addicts. Essential pedal heartache FFO: Midwife, Have A Nice Life, Croatian Amor, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Ramleh.
Cremation Lily + Monika Badly & Support at The Ill Repute.
Free entry screening of Antonioni’s surrealistic mod masterpiece, calling on The Yardbirds, Herbie Hancock and Venessa Redgrave at the height of their powers to assemble THE definitive art house flick of the Swinging Sixties. Don’t expect any Flower Power though: just voyeurism, paranoia, murder and mimes.
Be Kind Rewind Bristol is a film club dedicated to screening cult classics, hidden gems, and cinematic oddities.
Free entry! Deviance! Debauchery! Divine! The king of filth for filth’s sake, John Waters rides out on his second feature: a $5,000 romp into the darkest regions of radical free will. The results are completely shocking, utterly tasteless, and predictably hilarious. This is queer punk agitprop cinema at its finest.

Rollicking double bass-slappin’ rockabilly and punkish r’n’r revival from two crucial underground acts seen supporting the titanic likes of the Meteors, Klingonz, OH! GUNQUIT and the Zipheads. Expect b-movie horror, UFOs, voodoo women, zombies and more than a lil leopard print FFO: Stray Cats, Eddie Cochran, Tiger Army, Matchbox, the Cramps.
