Why wait till Halloween to wallow in the guts? This early autumn festival brings you fresh horror meat that's bound to be figuring later in the season. Like the promising opener Retreat, starring Thandie Newton, Cillian Murphy and Jamie Bell, or Stalker, the surprisingly nasty directorial debut of Martin Kemp. The four-day event spans the spectrum from lighthearted gore (slacker psycho comedy Some Guy Who Kills People) to really-not-funny-at-all dystopian nightmare (nuclear apocalypse horror The Divide), with special guests and horror gaming in between.
AMC Cinema, Thu to 9 Oct
Bicycle Film Festival, London
If you thought the topic of bicycles on film was rather limited, you'd be underestimating this resourceful global festival, which seems to find something new in the field of human-powered two-wheeled transportation every year. Did you know, for example, about the post-bmx street stunt scene in Accra, Ghana? If not, you need to see Bikelordz.
