With an atmosphere thick with tension, some of the most surreal and shocking practical visual effects ever created for the cinema screen, and a wonderfully effective score by Ennio Morricone, The Thing is an unprecedented apocalyptic science fiction horror film not to be missed on the big screen.

JOHN CARPENTER'S THE THING (1982) AT THE SAVOY
LETHAL WEAPON (1987) AT THE SAVOY
 | 12 December 2022 8:30pm When Sergeant Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) becomes reckless and suicidal after the death of his wife, his captain partners him up with dependable Homicide Sergeant Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), who is days away from his retirement. At first the pair clash, but when the chips are down and lives are at stake, they begin to form an unlikely bond. Funny, emotional, and with a dark undertone, it’s easy to see why this well-loved buddy cop movie spawned a franchise of sequels, a TV series, and a tonne of copycat films and spoofs. With genuine chemistry from Gibson and Glover, some signature Christmas spirit from writer Shane Black, and more ‘80s fun than you can shake your mullet at, Lethal Weapon is the action-packed festive feature not to be missed on the big screen this December!
