Discovering a secret Nazi lab and a mad scientist they discover an unstoppable army of undead soldiers.
No One Lives (6.00pm)
The UK premiere of the dark splatter thriller No One Lives is looking likely to be one of the highlights of the festival. Fourteen students are murdered and one missing with no clues as to where they could be. Months later a gang of robbers try to mug a couple in a car unaware that their targets are the killer of the students and the student he’s kidnapped.
R.I.P.D. (8.55pm)
Based on the comic book Rest In Peace Department, R.I.P.D. is one of the more polished Hollywood blockbuster movies in this year’s line-up.
