Join us at The Point for special screening of one of the most talked about British cult psych-horror films of the 1960's, Twisted Nerve, followed by a club night featuring B Music Cymru DJ Carl Forecast.


‘Twisted Nerve' @ The Point

Dir: Roy Boulting: 1968

Starring: Hayley Mills, Hywel Bennett

A cult psych hit of the 60's..., with a celebrated and much coveted soundtrack to match, Twisted Nerve tells the story of Martin, a troubled young man, to say the least. With a mother who insists on treating him like a child, a stepfather who can't wait to see the back of him, and a disabled brother shut away in an institution, is it any wonder he retreats into an alternate personality...that of six year old Georgie? It is Georgie who befriends Susan Harper, but friendship soon turns into obsession. When Susan begins to distance herself, something inside Georgie snaps and he embarks on a killing spree, with Susan as the next target.

26th of November / 20:00 - Late / The Point, Mount Stuart Sq, Cardiff Bay

Tickets £5.50 available from www.soundtrackfilmfestival.com , Ticket Line UK Westgate St Cardiff, www.thepointcardiffbay.comRead More
