About us
👋 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 BRIDE (FILM & SOCIAL)
Leicester Square, Leicester Square , Email us at contact@xxclusive.co.uk, London, GB🔩 Resurrection never goes according to plan — especially when the Bride wakes up with ideas of her own. Because when you bring her back from the dead… the Bride decides for herself what happens next⚡️
👋 Hello everyone! Looks like Monster horror is officially making a comeback, and this time Maggie Gyllenhaal dives straight into the genre with her bold horror-romance reimagining of Bride of Frankenstein, titled The Bride. The film stars Jessie Buckley as the Bride and Christian Bale as yet another incarnation of Frankenstein’s Monster, the film feels like a fresh rabbit hole into Mary Shelley’s magnificent creation. Honestly, any good story from that universe is worth retelling — and worth seeing on the big screen.
Set in 1930s Chicago, the film follows their outlaw romance against a backdrop of societal unrest. A lonely Frankenstein seeks the help of Dr. Euphronius to create a companion. They reinvigorate a murdered young woman… and a Bride is born. Just a tiny body piece of advice: if you can avoid watching the full trailer, do it — as Universal loves giving too much away, and this one deserves its surprises.
As always, we’ll meet up for drinks, laughs, and a fun film social (with final details confirmed closer to the date). So come prepared with your favourite monster stories, the ones from this life… or whatever lurks from beyond. And of course, we’ll share our highlights on our Letterboxd Page afterward.
Something in the air says this Bride is hungry for more than just a little blood and flesh. So now it’s time to prepare ourselves — because it looks this Bride wasn’t made to stand beside the Monster… she was made to steal the whole damn show.
Can’t wait — looking forward to seeing you guys there.
Ray, Jonny & Ashley

🪱🎬 SLITHER (2OTH ANNIVERSARY)
Victory House French Bistrot & Wine Bar, 14 Leicester Pl, London WC2H 7BZ, London, GB🐌 These slugs are disgusting, but that’s exactly why we love them!
Hi guys 👋 We’re gathering to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of James Gunn's directorial debut. Before he became known for his work with DC and Marvel, he made a name for himself focusing in the sci-fi horror world, both writing and directing these cult gems.
This body-horror sub-genre is about an alien parasite that infects a wealthy man in a small town, turning residents into mutants and zombies. If you haven’t seen it yet—like me—come join this adventure with fellow horror fans.
We’ll meet for drinks at Victory House Wine Bar before heading to Prince Charles Cinema. Slither will be showing on Screen 2, and I of course will be right on the front row, A8—feel free to join me there! After the film we reconvene for a Letterboxd review.
Here’s to a fun, gooey night!
See you all there,
