I remeber the first time I watch Ringu with my girlfriend (now wife). We had to turn off the TV because she was so scared.
WHAT about this one – EXTE? There’s a UK preview screening in London here: Curzon Soho’s next MIDNIGHT MOVIE on Fri 27th June is a preview of the new Japanese Horror with brains…and HAIR! EXTE! Chiaki Kuriyama (KILL BILL, BATTLE ROYALE) stars as Yuko, a budding hair stylist who is unaware that the hair extensions she uses on her clients are actually cursed… and are out for revenge. A satirical horror that delivers both in scares and laughs, this film marks director Sion Sono as one to watch. See it before the inevitable US remake!
Hair-raising pre-screening party from 9.30pm, with Amanda from THE DRESDEN DOLLS DJ’ing plus a free beer with every ticket. Dress code: radical hairstyles, cool wigs and if you dare… extensions. Best barnet gets a prize! (With thanks to Revolver Entertainment and Melissa at Roadrunner Records)
Get your ticket NOW: £8 in advance (£12 on the door) Book early to avoid disappointment!
