Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster + Introduction from curators Alex Davidson and Susie Evans (PG)

Family Film Week x All Kaiju Attack

,Cinema 2
Kaijus fight in the sky

Following last year's success, we’re buddying up with our All Kaiju Attack season again, giving families a chance to try out another slice of historic monster mayhem!

Godzilla meets his most iconic nemesis, King Ghidorah, for the first time in this action-packed kaiju extravaganza, with thunderous support from a wingless Mothra and pteranodon-like Rodan. But will Godzilla, up until now a malevolent force, fight as part of a team to save the world, or will he leave the humans to their fate? 

Featuring some classic 1960s creature effects, this is a sci-fi-fantasy mash-up not to be missed on the big screen and a great opportunity to introduce your next generation of cinema goers to an archive gem.

We are delighted to have two of our cinema curators, Alex Davidson and Susie Evans, introducing the event!
