SC Films International provided Bloody with some hi-res art for The Last Showing, starring A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Robert Englund, Emily Berrington, Finn Jones and Keith Allen.

In the film, “Martin (Finn Jones) and Allie (Emily Berrington) are on their third date. It’s make-or-break time. She has two tickets to a midnight screening of “The Hills Have Eyes 2” and Martin is up for anything he can get!

Popcorn in hand in a deserted theatre, the movie is in full swing when suddenly the screen goes BLACK.

The nightmare begins…..

Little beknownst to Martin and Allie, veteran projectionist Stuart Lloyd (Robert Englund) has other ideas. Fired from his beloved job, Stuart is determined to shoot his own horror film, with Martin and Allie as his leading man and lady.

Trapped inside the cinema, Martin and Allie’s evening turns into a cat and mouse death trap with Stuart pulling all the strings. He captures his plot using CCTV as it unfolds.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
