Halloween Film Festival Returns with Horror Classics
Adding to the week's cinematic offerings, the PVR INOX Halloween Film Festival brings Rosemary’s Baby and A Quiet Place back to the big screen.
Directed by Roman Polanski and adapted from Ira Levin’s novel, Rosemary’s Baby stars Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer. The psychological horror classic follows newlyweds Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse as they move into an apartment building with a troubling reputation. As Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated during her pregnancy, she begins to suspect that those around her are concealing a sinister secret.
A Quiet Place, directed by John Krasinski and starring Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe, presents a different approach to horror. Set in a world inhabited by mysterious creatures that hunt by sound, the film follows the Abbott family as they struggle to survive by maintaining near-total silence while protecting one another.
Together, the two films offer audiences contrasting horror experiences, from psychological unease and growing paranoia to suspense built around silence and the constant threat of being heard.
Bringing Music to the Big Screen
The programming also features BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG: BUENOS AIRES, a Korean-language live concert presentation distributed by PVR INOX Pictures. The special screening brings the group's music and performance to cinema audiences, offering fans an opportunity to experience the concert atmosphere alongside fellow fans in a theatrical setting.
With its combination of international cinema, Indian and regional storytelling, horror favourites and a live concert experience, PVR INOX continues to offer audiences a varied programme of entertainment across genres and formats.
