With its dusting of snow, Kingston Falls is an idyllic small town. It’s home to Billy Peltzer, a teenager who has just received an unusual present from his father with a specific set of instructions.

Youth & Horror Research Network Logo

Join us after the screening for a talk with Dr Kate Egan (Northumbria University) & Dr Catherine Lester (University of Birmingham) from the Youth & Horror Research Network, who are currently conducting research on the connection between childhood and the horror genres. This will be an opportunity for the audience to feedback on their own experiences and ask the horror experts any questions.
