💄 **A different kind of outstanding... because there’s no crime in giving yourself to this strange journey.** **👋Hello, everybody!** Join me for a night of pure, wild fun at **The Rocky Horror Picture Show!** This a cult classic that you really must see for yourself if you haven’t already! It originally premiered in 1975, **directed by Jim Sharman**. It’s this campy, rock-and-roll sci-fi horror parody, bursting with color and energy, led by the incomparable **Tim Curry** as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. And what really sets it apart is its incredible longevity—people still flock to midnight screenings, dressing up, shouting lines, and making it a truly interactive, electric experience. It’s a whole vibe! Our plan for the evening is exactly that—we’ll be **singing along** and **dressing up!** No pressure on the costumes, but if you do, I promise you, we’re going to have an absolutely fantastic time. We’ll meet at **Victory House Wine Bar** around **7 p.m**., and then head to one of my favourite cinemas, the **Prince Charles Cinema**. And oh, I’ll be in **seat A6** if you’d like to join me there! **After the show, we’ll regroup for a bit more fun—and I can’t wait to see you all tonight!** **Darinka** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 **drop us a quick message** (or change your RSVP) — it really helps with planning.

***🖤 A wish for Willow’s love: consent is the first to vanish. When it takes your heart, it devours your soul.*** 👋 **All right you guys!** this one's intriguing. The film premiered last year at the **Toronto Midnight Madness Festival**. It is by the American actor-comedian **Curry Barke**r, known for sketch comedy and YouTube horror. Now, he makes his second attempt as a director, aiming for a wider yet still limited release here in the Uk. The story follows a music store employee. He’s a hopeless romantic who uses a supernatural novelty toy to make his longtime crush fall in love. Weird, right? But, as expected, such wishes come with dark consequences. My advice: enjoy the movie, but don’t try this at home. So, it's Friday night drinks at the **Victory House Wine Bar** from **7:30pm**, where we’ll be chatting about all sorts of obsessive movie themes. Then at **9:00pm** will be on our way to **Vue Cinema (Screen 8)** where you'll find me in seat **A4,** but you can pick what works for you. After the film we'll regroup once again for our commentary and **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/) review.** And, you will find the **full schedule breakdown, ticket info and addresses** **below**, so don't miss out. In the meantime**, I’d be careful what you wish for 😉** as it may come true. **See you there!** **Jonny** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 drop us a message (**or change your RSVP**) — You can also follow me **[@jonnyhideout](https://www.instagram.com/jonnyhideout/)** or our club **[@thehideoutmax](https://www.instagram.com/thehideoutmax/)** on instagram for fun updates. 🗓 **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** * **7:30 PM:** Drinks (Victory House Wine Bar) * **9:10 PM:** VUE Leicester Square (Screen 8) * **11:30 PM:** Review 📱**STAY CONNECTED** * Join our WhatsApp or Telegram groups (available by request), or hop onto our **[WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDvGuK0AgW8KPxOnG2V)** or \*\*[Telegram Channel](https://t.me/thehideoutuk)\*\*for quiet updates without the chat.

Details on getting tickets for movie + pre drinks below. **PREMISE** Over the past year, there’s been a new film on the festival circuit getting a ton of buzz. That film is Obsession, written and directed by Curry Barker (Milk & Serial), and audiences at Overlook Film Festival 2026 finally got the chance to see it on the big screen. A young man makes a wish on a “One Wish Willow” for one of his best friends to be madly in love with him. When she suddenly expresses feelings for him, what begins as a dream come true morphs into his worst nightmare. Since Obsession first hit the festival circuit, it has been impossible to ignore all the praise. If you’re at all worried the film has been overhyped, I can assure you with certainty this film not only lives up to the hype, but it might even exceed it. The film introduces audiences to Bear, a seemingly sweet guy who is rather reserved and awkward. He also happens to be in love with one of his best friends, Nikki. When he chokes during his chance to admit his feelings, he instead makes a wish on a “One Wish Willow” be bought at a metaphysical shop, wishing Nikki would be in love with him. While Bear doesn’t believe in the wish at first, he soon realizes its power when Nikki suddenly professes her love for him. At first, it seems like Bear is finally getting everything he’s ever wanted. Yet Nikki’s behavior becomes increasingly bizarre, frightening, and even dangerous. It’s a fantastic, disturbing story that shows how even the “nice guys” are incapable of taking rejection, whil also delivering a classic “be careful what you wish for” tale. Bear ignores every warning sign because he has the girl of his dreams, even if it means the woman next to him is a hollow shell of the person he supposedly fell in love with. No matter how wild things get, he makes excuse after excuse, constantly putting his own desires ahead of what’s best for Nikki. The premise also has some unsettling implications when one considers Nikki’s actions throughout the course of her relationship with Bear are thanks to a wish rather than her own free will. On the surface, Obsession is a horror film because of how it depicts modern men and relationships. Even as Nikki becomes a completely different person, Bear is still happy because he has what he has always wanted. It shows that Bear was in love with the idea of Nikki and what a relationship with her would look like rather than actually caring about her as a human being. Obsession takes this even further by adding absolutely terrifying supernatural horrors on top of the more realistic relationship horrors. Barker builds on the terror, weaving in subtle scares and ambiance before shifting into outright disturbing happenings and jump scares. But don’t let the term “jump scares” deter you. The difference between these scares compared to other horror films is that these scares feel earned. They’re the kind of horrific moments that will likely have audiences jumping out of their seat whether it’s their first viewing or their tenth. It ensures Obsession will be as frightening to watch years later as it was the first time. **TRAILER** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMC8kkwbIQQ **CINEMA TICKETS** https://www.myvue.com/book-tickets/summary/10030/HO00021063/309568 **DRINKS** We can go for a drink before the movie at The Imperial. **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** 14:30 - Drinks at The Imperial, 5 Leicester St, London WC2H 7BL 15:15 - film at Vue Cinema London - West End (Leicester Square) - 3 Cranbourn St, London WC2H 7AL

IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT EVEN READ ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU SEE IT. A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. Please be ready to discuss the movie by 7PM. We suggest arriving early enough to order and get food beforehand. Thanks. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
