Awakened to consciousness – and pain - before birth by the bite of the undead vampire that kills his mother, a young boy grows into a mythical warrior bearing a blood-curse: an almost insatiable desire for blood that he must fight every moment of every day. Blade uses his awesome power to battle the vampires led by his mortal enemy, the omnipotent vampire overlord Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff). The undead have infiltrated the corridors of power intent on conquering all mankind; now, against an army of immortals, one warrior must draw first blood.

With bloody action scenes galore and a soundtrack that will make you want to have a blood rave, this pre-MCU Marvel movie from 1998 is a must see revisit for the big screen!

Contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

The screening will be followed by a DJ set from Reger (@reger.wav), loosely inspired by the 'Blood Rave' of the film's opening.

"Blade is an entertainingly macabre and excitingly staged action horror, with a propulsive energy..." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
