B Movie Festival at Phoenix Square

Phoenix Square has only just opened its doors but it has firmly placed itself in Leicester as the place to be for film classics and those unusual gems you wouldn’t see any where else. In December the Phoenix held a festival of Zombie films which showed an eclectic (well as eclectic as you can get when brain eating living dead are involved) range of films from across the globe.

The Phoenix is set for another film festival but this time with a more British and sex filled twist, ‘Best of the B’s’ is a celebration of the very best of British B-movies, this is a rare opportunity to watch film from times gone by on the silver screen.

The festival runs from the 15th to the 19th January and includes these gems:

Secrets of Sex – Fri 15 Jan – Sun 17 Jan
Rag Doll + Tomorrow at 10 – Sat 16 Jan to Sun 17 Jan
The Impersonator + The Wind of Change – Mon 18 Jan – Tue 19 Jan
Bond of Fear + Jungle Street – Mon 18 Jan – Tue 19 Jan

My favourite being ‘Secrets of Sex’ not only because it has the word sex in the title, but because it has the weirdest blurb I have read so far this year, it goes something like this:

Anyone for total weirdness? Orgies, naked burglary, topless food-fights, S & M photography, queer couples, kinky girls, and a threeway involving a lizard make this barmy British B-movie a must for all seekers of the bizarre. A “dirty movie with brains” these screenings should not be missed, especially as we are screening the FULL, UNCUT version!
