The Union Film program gives you a chance to see a films per week for only £2.75 each. We show them on Thursdays in LT1, at 7.30pm (unless otherwise stated).

Tickets are also available from the Box Office and also an hour before the film starts from Union Reception. Neither pass nor ticket guarantees you entry to a particular film as seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis - so please do not try to reserve seats for friends - especially on the busiest screenings.

Some changes to the film programme are beyond our control. Any alterations to the programme will be posted at the Box Office and on the film notice board in the Hive. If you have any comments and suggestions or would like to get involved with the Union film Society please speak to a steward at the film or come up to the Ents office UH.

Cloverfield

(USA 2007 85m) (15)

Cloverfield is a horror movie for the YouTube generation, but for all its newfangled innovations, the movie shares DNA with similarly themed sci-fi yarns from the 1950s. With unknown actors, the film begins at a party in an apartment in New York but rapidly descends into a monster flick as the city is invaded by an unknown threat. Filmed on handheld cameras, the style and quality of this film inject a terrific sense of terror into the old monster movie formula. It’s jaw dropping stuff and feels like one big, masterfully executed experiment in upping the ante in audience manipulation, and it works brilliantly.

There Will Be Blood

(USA 2007 158m) (12A)

A story about family, greed, religion, and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century prospector (played by Daniel Day Lewis) in the early days of the business. Daniel Day Lewis' blistering, devilish performance is one of the greatest of his accomplished career, and the film turns out to be the best movie of Paul Thomas Anderson's career. This triumphant epic about the bone-breaking, death-defying, orphan-making early days of the oil industry will serve as a benchmark for all of his future films. Whether you will believe The film is a transcendently powerful movie or merely damn good, there's no debate that Day-Lewis' performance is something to behold.
