10 Best Horror Movies Set In A Cinema

Surfacing in 2014, Phil Hawkins' The Last Showing is a movie that spends a solid 95% of its run time enclosed in a multiplex.

Filmed entirely at the very real Vue Cinema in Ellesmere Port, this picture is anchored by the ever-great Robert Englund. While Englund is famed for his devilishly delightful and eccentrically evil roles - Freddy Krueger being his the most obvious example of this - here the actor delivers a far more subdued, nuanced performance as film projectionist Stuart.

A fan of film in its purest fashion, Stuart is disgusted by modern filmmaking. When his job is deemed unnecessary and he's forced to work on the concessions stand, that's the final straw for the character - causing him to make his own tortured, twisted movie.

Finn Jones and Emily Berrington play an unsuspecting couple out to watch a late night showing of The Hills Have Eyes 2, and they - along with a couple of members of staff - find themselves trapped in the multiplex and manipulated by Stuart.

Utilising CCTV footage and handheld cameras, the disgruntled projectionist directs traffic from afar, using his own angst and anger to become a filmmaker himself.
