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.

🌴🎬 PREDATOR: BADLANDS
Odeon West End, Leicester Square, London, GB👽 Another Ugly Extraterrestrial That Hunts for Sport. It’s Out There… Waiting for You in Its New Iteration.
Hey guys! 👋 Many of us still feel the series never quite topped the Original Predator**. Nevertheless, after the success of Alien Romulus last year, we’re now getting a brand-new sequel in the Predator series.
This one’s directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who helped revive the franchise with the 2020 Hulu original **Prey. *Badlands ***marks the seventh mainline instalment (ninth overall), but no worries — you don’t need to watch the others unless you want to dive into the full timeline.
We'll be catching this one at Odeon Luxe West End, with a pre-meet at Oscars Bar West End (not the Leicester Square one!) — the bar’s tucked away on the lower ground floor of the cinema.
Let’s enjoy some good company while we witness these creatures follow their brutal but honourable code.
Looking forward to seeing you then! 💬

🖤🎬 KEEPER
Odeon West End, Leicester Square, London, GB💔 When you step into the dance of an unknown presence, chances are it’ll keep you spinning in circles before you finally sink into darkness.
Hey guys 👋 We’ll be catching up again for the new film from one of my favourite directors, Oz Perkins. He’s got a fascinating background (well worth a quick search if you’re curious). He is the son of the late Anthony Perkins, and started out acting in comedies like Legally Blonde.
Each of his films feels totally different from the last — quirky, unsettling, and just plain weird in the best way. If you haven’t yet, check out Longlegs and The Monkey.
We’ll be meeting for evening drinks before the film, with final details updated closer to the time.
See you guys at the meetup 💬

🐻🎬 FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2
Vue Vue West End , 3 Cranbourn Street - Leicester Square - London WC2H 7AL, London, GB🍕🔪 It’s a minimum-wage nightmare! Looks like they’re hiring more night staff again! As the new night guard, your job is simple — just avoid getting stuffed into a metal suit.
Hey guys 👋 I remember diving into this creepy world of animatronics back in 2023 and really enjoying it. In spite of the bad rap it got, I found it quite fun and nostalgic — and I’m always up for a bit of electronic horror. The sequel will once again be directed by Emma Tammi, and if you didn’t know, the original movie was based on the game created by Scott Cawthon — definitely worth checking out if you’re into games.
Hopefully this one cranks things up a notch! I’m curious to see how they pull it off since, even with the returning cast, it’s actually a prequel following the timeline of the games. Either way, it should be a fun ride.
We’ll be meeting for pre-drinks as usual (final details updated closer to the time), and maybe talk about electronic horror.
Looking forward to seeing you guys there! 💬

🎅🎬 SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (2025)
Leicester Square , Leicester Square , Email us at contact@xxclusive.co.uk, London , GB🪓 Silent nights are deceivingly quiet… until they're not.
When someone’s lurking in the background, craving the payback you know you owe, well, let’s just say there’s a price for those who’ve been more naughty than nice…Hey guys! 👋 I’m genuinely excited about this Christmas - not just for the twinkling lights, but also for the redemption, shall we say. So if you thought Halloween was over and done, think again, because this week, we’re diving into the brand-new reimagining of the 1984 slasher classic.
This one’s written and directed by Mike P. Nelson and first premiered at Fantastic Fest earlier this year, and it made enough noise to land a general release. It is also produced by the same mad guys behind the Terrifier Series… so, I'm guessing this one is going to be very mad as well.
This may not be for the faint-hearted, but if you’re up for it, let’s catch up for pre-drinks before heading to the movie. Final details will be updated closer to the time.
Either way, it should be a fun one — see you guys at the meetup! 💬
