AMC CINEMAS, MANCHESTER UK, OCTOBER 6th – 9th, 2011
Grimm Up North is back, bigger, better, bloodier, more brutal than ever. Manchester’s festival of edgy and extreme cinema will be casting its cold, dark shadow over AMC Cinemas for four fearful days this October. We’ll be bending genre expectations, and trampling all over acceptable boundaries in our attempt to bring you a totally unforgettable full-on film experience – a cornucopia of Horror, Fantasy, SF, noirish crime thrillers, and bitter black comedies. There’ll be premieres and previews of films you may never get a chance to see anywhere else and exclusive seminars and Q&A sessions with directors and stars. There’ll be a horror market, exclusive previews of the latest in computer gaming, book signings and surprise guests. It’ll be a hell of a show
