Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Synopsis

It's ‘vege-mania’ in Wallace and Gromit’s neighbourhood and our intrepid chums are cashing in as elite pest-control duo Anti-pesto. With only days to go before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, business is booming!
 
But running a 'humane' pest control outfit has its drawbacks. Wallace and Gromit's home is brimful of captive bunnies and Gromit's daily task of feeding the ever-expanding population is second only to his job of feeding his master: with all their recent success, Wallace has been over-indulging in his beloved cheese and Gromit is struggling to keep him on a strict vegetable diet. True to form, Wallace resorts to technology to cure all his problems with 'the Mind-manipulation-o-matic', a simple brain-altering device.
 
All is well until an unexplained, nocturnal, veg-ravaging rabbit monster begins attacking the town's sacred vegetable plots. Soon the townsfolk are in uproar and the fate of the competition lies in the balance, until beautiful heiress and vegetable competition hostess Lady Tottington, impressed with Wallace’s humane methods, commissions Anti-pesto to apprehend the beast and save the day. Wallace's aspirations rise - this is just the sort of client he's dreamed of.

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.
