HITCHcoCK FOR HALLOWEEN
“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”
We re-visit the pioneering direction of Alfred Hitchcock in this part two to our exclusive Halloween retrospective covering the master of suspense’s influential career.
Hitchcock is one of Britain’s greatest exports, a pioneering director whose films of technical innovation, relentless thrills, sharp wit and playful humour still make firm statements on the big screen.
Handpicked by our team, this season serves as the perfect entry point to first time viewers, with firm favourites and some under-screen gems for the fans.

Hugo performs live at THE LODGER screening.
