The ABCs of Death is perhaps the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning fifteen countries and featuring segments directed by over two dozen of the world's leading talents in contemporary genre film, including the directors of House of the Devil, Hobo with a Shotgun, A Serbian Film, Tokyo Gore Police, You're Next & four British Directors - Ben Wheatley (Sightseers), Simon Rumley (Red, White & Blue), Jake West (Doghouse) & Leeds based Lee Hardcastle, who with his claymation short, won a competition to be the final Director. Inspired by children's educational books, the motion picture is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a word to create a story involving death.
This alphabetical arsenal of destruction orchestrated by what has been described as a stunning roll call of some of the most exciting names in horror across the world. is one of the most hotly anticipated releases for 2013. When the trailer received its first UK airing, last year, it was screened to a packed audience at the 13th Frightfest, Empire Cinema, Leicester Square, the 2 minute clip received rapturous applause from the attending audience. The film will receive its UK premiere at the this year's Glasgow Film Festival as part of Film4Frightfest (Tickets for this event are now sold out) and its Irish premiere at the inaugural Twisted Celluloid Film Festival at the Triskel Arts Centre.

Mark Kermode presents Hatchet Job: Love Cinema, Hate Critics
Mark Kermode will be touring our cinemas with his new book Hatchet Job: Love Movies, Hate Critics - on sale now
The UK's most trusted and most outspoken film critic, Mark Kermode, returns to the stage with his unique blend of ranting and analysis.
For decades, the backbone of movie reviewing has been the hatchet job: the entertaining trashing of a film by professional reviewers who are seen by some as cynical snobs. Now, with the arrival of the internet, have the critics themselves fallen under the axe? But are the democratic platforms of the internet really more reliable than the old gripes and prejudices of the critical establishment? And what kind of films would we have if we listened to what audiences think they want?
Expect trenchant opinion, hilarious autobiographical anecdotes, passionate personal prejudices, entertaining diversions and scathing, sardonic humour.
Mark will be answering questions from the audience and there will be a chance to have your copy of the book signed by him.

Ben Robins, BA Film Studies, second year
I guess my number one has to be one of the three cinemas in Southampton. I’m probably going to go with the Harbour Lights Picturehouse.
Robin Johnson, MSc Computer Science, final year
The Annex Theatre, which is one of the, kind of, performance venues we have on campus.
Olivia Ojuroye
A second place is Zen. Zen is a Japanese restaurant located in the heart of the city centre.
Sim Linnel Hanfling
There’s a really good pub called The Hobbit, it’s nice to have, kind of, Southampton’s got quite a good independent scene.
Emma Baldwin
Being down by the river, it’s really pretty to walk along there.
Charlotte Hallahan
I go to the Mayflower which has amazing, like, West End shows and to Nuffield which is actually on campus.
Robin Johnson
I also love the Stag’s Head, which is the Student Union’s pub on campus.
Ben Robins
The Hobbit pub, I’m not the biggest drinker in the world but the, the drinks there are always really great, reasonably priced. It’s a really nice vibe. Uh, and Lord of the Rings stuff, everywhere which is fun.
Jessica Smith
Me personally, I also really like the New Forest that we’ve got just on our doorstep.
Emma Baldwin
And my third favourite is probably the common. Again, it’s great for meeting up with friends and you can have a barbeque there in summer and it’s great to do, kind of, cycling and running, which is really good.
Charlotte Hallahan
Third, would probably be West Quay, just because shopping.
Aditi Arora, BA Geography, first year
Jesters, on a night out, it’s great.
