To coincide with the Asian-horror inspired play Fix at the Pleasance Theatre, a special screening introduced by the play’s director Jennifer Tan.

Fix is a psychological thriller in which a repairman finds himself inexplicably drawn to an old woman and her house in the woods. Written by Bruntwood Prize longlisted writer, Julie Tsang, the play runs at the Pleasance Theatre from 14 January to 1 February. Film club members can get discount group tickets and free tickets to their film screenings of Audition and lady Vengeance (details below).

In the meantime, their father Mu-Hyun (Kim Gab-su) has married Eun-joo (Yeom Jeong-ah), whom the girls obviously despise. Strange, violent visions begin to disturb Su-mi and she becomes convinced that Eun-joo is keeping a dark secret from the family…
