SACRIFICE: AT CINEMA

Saving the world is one thing, but being sacrificed to save it is a whole different story. That’s exactly what’s on the menu in the dark comedy Sacrifice. When a glamorous charity gala is hijacked by radicals who believe three human sacrifices into a volcano will prevent the apocalypse, one night out takes an unexpected turn. Directed by Romain Gavras, known for Athena and The World Is Yours, the film features an impressive cast including Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, Salma Hayek and John Malkovich. It’s one ancient prophecy, three sacrifices and a very bad night out. 

THE UPRISING: AT CINEMAS

From human sacrifices to the battlefield, The Uprising takes us back to 1381 and the Peasants’ Revolt, when ordinary people rose against King Richard II in response to a crippling increase in taxes. Written and directed by Paul Greengrass, the filmmaker behind Captain Phillips and the Bourne movies, this epic period drama stars Andrew Garfield, Woody Norman and Jamie Bell as a rebellion grows into an all-out fight for justice. Rise or die in The Uprising.
