What we’re about
👋 HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE HIDEOUT!
London’s hyper-active thriller, sci-fi, and horror film club — built by fans, for fans.
We’re a buzzing community of die-hard film lovers, indie filmmakers, comic geeks, and sci-fi dreamers who adore everything from Hitchcock to Kubrick, Carpenter to Cameron.
We meet regularly for screenings, share laughs over drinks, and rave (or rant) together on our Letterboxd Page. You’ll also find us hanging out at our BFI Riverfront socials — always a great time. We stay on top of film news, and members get to vote on what we watch next via our WhatsApp or Telegram groups (unlocked after your first meetup).
We’re all about supporting independent cinema — from The Film Festival Guild to the Prince Charles Cinema, the BFI, Medicinema, and more. That means we’ll often snag special perks and early access as part of our crew. From road trips to spooky festivals, pub quizzes to Riverfront hangouts, there’s always something fun in the mix.
Come hang out with a great crowd — we’d love to have you with us.

🧗🏽♀️🎬 THE DESCENT: 20TH ANNIVERSARY
🪨 If I were trapped down in those horrific, enclosed places, I think I’d finally understand the true depth of my claustrophobia: not just the fear of being stuck… but the fear of never being found
Hey guys! 👋 I’m really excited we’re getting a 20th anniversary screening of one of the best horror films ever made. The Descent isn’t just visually stunning—it’s emotional, intense, and backed by an unforgettable soundtrack.
Directed by Neil Marshall (who also did the cult favourite Dog Soldiers), this film goes beyond survival horror… it digs into friendship, fear, and what it means to lose your grip. It’s more than just a descent into madness, it's a descent into truth. And once you go deep, there’s no turning back.
I really do think you will appreciate this film and if you seen it before, it's worth the rewatch. We will also be catching up again as usual for drinks before heading to the film.
Look forward to seeing you guys there.

🛌🎬 A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: 40TH ANNIVERSARY
Victory House French Bistrot & Wine Bar, 14 Leicester Pl, London WC2H 7BZ, London, GB💤 I drown him out with music, meds, and caffeine, but nothing ever works. I can’t sleep tonight as my nightmares keep on coming
Hey guys! 👋 If you’ve ever wondered what real fear feels like, then this film shows you more than one side of the coin. I’m so psyched we’re getting a 40th anniversary release of Freddy’s Revenge — even as a one-off screening, it’s totally worth the conversation. There are things hidden in plain sight that even I missed the first time around.
This particular sequel from Jack Sholder is considered the most thematically unique in the series, due to its bold subtext and deeper themes. It definitely stirred some controversy at the time… but you’ll have to watch it to truly appreciate its layers.
It’s also part of my favourite franchise ever — and I’d love to see you there, and talk all things Elm Street.
Look forward to seeing you there 🔥

🧊🎬 THE THING (1982 4K RESTORATION)
Victory House French Bistrot & Wine Bar, 14 Leicester Pl, London WC2H 7BZ, London, GB👽 Man is the warmest place to hide And John Carpenter is obviously the undisputed Master of Horror as he delivers one of the most chilling and influential sci-fi horrors ever made.
Hey guys 👋 We are getting together for this once-misunderstood flick that has since become a true cult classic, celebrated for its groundbreaking practical effects, icy atmosphere, and masterful tension. This terrifying tale of paranoia and survival reimagines the 1951 film The Thing from Another World and forms part of Carpenter’s unofficial Apocalypse Trilogy which includes Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness.
If you haven’t seen this before, there’s no better time than spooky season, especially with fellow horror fans by your side! And we'll be catching up for drinks and a chat beforehand before heading off to the cinema. All the further details are below and it should be a fun night
Until then, we look forward to seeing you there 🛸
