Join Video Bazaar and The Nickel this Halloween for a rare screening of Tony Williams’ Next of Kin. An unsettling piece of Australian horror, this eerie 1982 gem blends gothic suspense with psychological terror, making it perfect viewing for this Halloween season. Please note that this event will feature an introduction and a Halloween mystery video show carefully curated by your hosts.

Set in a decaying, isolated mansion, Next of Kin follows Linda, a young woman who inherits her family's aged rest home, only to discover a series of strange and terrifying events. As paranoia mounts and the past refuses to stay buried, the line between reality and nightmare blurs in this atmospheric slow-burn that builds to a shocking climax.

Often overlooked in the horror canon, Next of Kin has earned a cult following for its eerie slow-burn tension, gothic stylings and a haunting synth heavy score by Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream. The suffocating, creeping terror draws you in, leaving you questioning what’s real until the very end.

This screening is presented by The Nickel Cinema and cult film collective Video Bazaar, who exhibit rarely screened films and are dedicated to bringing the weird and obscure to London audiences.
