It’s time to bow down to the Queen of Japanese Action cinema... Meiko Kaji! This cult cinema powerhouse broke onto the Japanese cinema scene in the 60s and has reigned supreme ever since.

Viral outbreaks, death curses, illicit sex, pervy pictures and uncomfortable truths - the Caught On Tape season is a selection of films where posing for a photo, filming something never meant to be seen or watching unearthed videos is all good fun, but could also get you in big trouble - or even killed. Films included in the collection are camcorder creep-out [REC], the insane VHS revelations of The El Duce Tapes, the J-horror classic series of Ring films, and Dutch treat Videoman.

Make-Up Effects Masterclass is full of examples of the best, from the best. Films in the collection include icky gross-outs of Re-Animator and Bride of Re-Animator, the eye-popping and flesh-ripping effects of the classic Hellraiser series, and bucket loads more, as well as fantastic ARROW stories, packed with behind-the-scenes looks at these classics.
