Coming straight to Dendy from its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, this nail-biting, fiendishly irreverent chamber horror delights in its deconstruction of religion. Anchored by three fantastic leads, co-stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East both give powerhouse performances, but it’s a devastatingly sharp Hugh Grant that steals the show. Deliciously dark and funny, don’t miss this unique genre effort begging to be discussed.

REVIEW:
What is a film? To me it’s an experience that you view through your own experiences. Life’s not easy. Not perfect. Many times, it’s hard. Things happen to you that you didn’t deserve and it leaves scars in your heart and emotions.
Memory is one of those cold and realistic dramas, focused on the acting and dialogue, but not effects or plot twists. But that does not mean it lacks moments of love, affection, and sensitivity. It was a good ride with strong storytelling and good acting, and it revolves around the uncomfortable and important topic of mental health.
I appreciated the films unique look at dementia and whilst it’s certainly one you have to be in the right mindset for, its worth watching if you get the chance.
Trigger warning: if you’ve dealt with sexual assault on any level this may be hard to watch.

SEASON RUNNING 29-31 OCTOBER
SYNOPSIS:
Brisbane is set to experience a Halloween like no other, as A Night With The Villains returns – bigger, badder, and boasting an all-new cast of local talent.
This musical parody concert promises the ultimate Halloween experience with thrilling performances, dark humour, and spine-tingling villainy.
Fresh from its rapturously received 2023 season, this year’s show introduces a whole new roster of iconic musical theatre villains, including Captain Hook, Cruella de Vil, Mrs Wormwood, Bonnie & Clyde, The Sanderson Sisters and many more.
Led by the host with the most, Beetlejuice, played by local star Peter Wood (Once On This Island, Head Over Heels), and featuring a stellar cast of Brisbane’s finest performers, this production takes everything audiences loved last year and cranks it up to eleven.
Award-winning director and producer, Elodie Boal, has teamed up with co-producer and director Trent Sellars to bring back a show that is bigger and more spectacular than before.
“This year’s show is larger in every way – new villains, more surprises, and a fresh take on what a Halloween show can be,” Boal said. “It’s perfect for anyone who loves musical theatre, Halloween, or just an evening of wicked fun.”
