A double feature of terrifying and gruesomely exploitative rare films of the 70s. The cinema will not be held responsible for any trauma or moral debasement induced by the evening's horrors.

Wicked Wicked was the only movie ever to be made in DUO-VISION, the split screen gimmick sensation which brought you "twice the tension - twice the terror" - before Timecode was so much as a glint in Figgis' eye.

It marked the end of an era of cinema novelties such as rumble-packs, electric-shock seats, subliminal cuts and what-not.

"I can hardly begin to express what a disgusting, worthless piece of excrement this film is." - imdb.com reviewer

This is an extremely rare screening for this schlock classic. The BFI inform us this is the first booking they have ever had for this film. I wonder why.
