I got there for maybe 6.40ish, in anticipation of a 7pm start. Someone did walk around the queue and apologise for the wrong time on the tickets (not the first time SFF tickets have had incorrect information, these things happen) but it was a little annoying. Didn't get a great seat, but these things don't bother me. I was secretly disappointed there were no free drinks or popcorn - I've come to expect this from West End screenings!
Stayed to the end (including Q&A) because I have a no walk outs policy. I don't think it was a terrible film, more so that it just was not my cup of tea. At all. I never research films in advance, so this is my fault, but I was expecting a horror film. This was meant to be a horror comedy, but it was more of a gross comedy. I think if I had been a 16 year old boy I would have really enjoyed it, but as much effort went into props for the individual deaths, I just didn't find them scary or entertaining. They were just gross.
Ross Noble and the director chatting to the guy from 6 Music was more entertaining than the film. Long night though for something that just wasn't that good.
Preferred cinemas:
Vue West End, Cineworld Haymarket, Odeon West End, Odeon Leicester Square, Empire Leicester Square, Cineworld O2, Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue and Odeon Panton Street, followed by anywhere in central(ish) London.
