Danny Dyer (“Severance”, “Doghouse”) stars in this new British horror film, which is being released near-simultaneously across all media. Dyer plays Gary, a disillusioned anti-war protester who bizarrely finds himself locked in a terrifying underground bunker along with some fellow demonstrators. As annoyance quickly turns to desperation, it is not long before tempers fray and bitter accusations fly between the group members.

Friendships start to crumble, people mysteriously disappear and disturbing noises suggest they are not alone. What was or is the purpose of the labyrinthine tunnel network? Who has locked them in and why?  And does someone in the group know more about their predicament that they are letting on? The group must get to the bottom of these questions and escape before their time runs out. Writer-director Asham Kamboj’s premise a group of people being trapped in a maze with an unseen threat is not exactly original.

Well, would you believe it? A new release of a couple of episodes of Space Patrol on Blu-ray, available as a web exclusive from the Network website. This is a series that has been intertwined with the history of the Cult TV organisation. As part of the Student Union society at Wolverhampton University, we managed to get hold of a copy of an episode to screen. In 1994, in the run-up to our first Festival, we sought to find the original prints to encourage a video release. In 1998, those initial video releases were celebrated at our Festival that year. And now, through the miracles of technology, here it is given a new lease of life.

This is Earth. The year is 2100. And here we see this 1963 series in a quality you would have never thought possible, especially as it hasn’t been seen on British television since 1968. Only two episodes remain in their original 35mm film format and these have been freshly transferred in High Definition and restored especially for this release.
