Safety in Numbers

Synopsis

Jen and her fellow survival contestants Caroline and Lisa sunbathe on a large yacht on their way back to an island for a television reunion show. Jen wakes screaming from a nightmare. Below deck, the show's million-dollar winner ,Nasty Nigel, is relaxing with the other male contestants, Matt and Joe, watching a DVD of the show's highlights. Full of bravado, the lads make jokes about Wesley, an unbalanced and violent contestant who tried to attack the show’s presenter with a machete.

Arriving on the island the contestants are shocked to find the beach house broken into and trashed with the words 'You will all die' written across one wall. Angry and dismissive of what they believe to be a prank by the production crew, the group vote to stay the night and leave the next morning, if the crew doesn’t show up later that day. The next morning they discover their yacht is gone. The group, confused and angry at being manipulated, pair off in search of the yacht. Matt and Lisa find it out in a bay. Matt stays watching the yacht while Lisa returns for the others, who she finds waiting at the beach house. Jen returns claiming to have lost Joe. The others persuade Jen to go with them to get the yacht, then they will look for Joe, but on the way back the group lose Nigel. Lisa leads Caroline and Jen to where Matt and the yacht should be waiting, but both Matt and the yacht are gone. As contestants systematically disappear, stalked by an unknown killer, the group are not sure if they are part of a sick game or who they can trust as they continue to find a way off the island trap and deal with survival.

A young man, sits alone in a cafe, deep in thought. A bouquet of disregarded roses in front of him. The Game

Director: Blaize Mott

Year: 2026

Donald, a lonely young man desperate to improve his dating life, hires a manipulative pick-up artist, Charles, to teach him how to meet and attract women. Over the course of one night in London, Donald is pulled into a world of performance, pressure and control, where confidence becomes coercion and desire begins to blur with power. What began as a harmless lesson on love transforms into a night where the methods he is instructed to use to achieve his goal are far darker than he could have ever imagined.

Ken Russell's The Devils Ken Russell's The Devils

Director: Ken Russell

Year: 1971

A dramatized historical account of the rise and fall of Urbain Grandier, a 17th-century Roman Catholic priest accused of witchcraft following the supposed possessions in Loudun, France; it also focuses on Sister Jeanne des Anges, a sexually repressed nun who inadvertently incites the accusations. An enduring masterpiece of cinema, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell. Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of THE DEVILS by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned.
