Judas Ghost premiere at the Orpheus
Filmed on location in Bristol back in 2013, fantasy horror film Judas Ghost finally reaches the big screen on Thursday, August 13. It’ll be shown at the Orpheus cinema, starting at 8pm. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Simon Pearce.
Judas Ghost is adapted from the Ghost Finder novels by prolific British fantasy author Simon R. Green and follows a quartet of ghost hunters from the Carnacki Institute, which is billed as a “top-secret organisation set up to combat the dead”. When the team pitch up at an old village hall for what they anticipate will be a common or garden haunting, they’re somewhat surprised to find themselves facing something rather more ‘orrible.
This is director Simon Pearce’s belated follow-up to his excellent 2009 feature debut, Shank – a gay coming-of-age drama that made excellent use of the mean streets of Montpelier. The cast is led by Martin Delaney, whose credits include Zero Dark Thirty and Flags of Our Fathers.
The screening will also include a locally made short: Edward’s Request by J.C. Ralls. Advance tickets for the event are available here.
