Film4 Summer Screen - Total Recall + A Nightmare on Elm Street

Somerset House, London, WC2R 1LA
  • Discover the dark side of dreams with this double-bill of dystopian science-fiction and vivid nightmares at the Somerset House. It's Arnold Schwarzenegger versus Freddy Krueger in a movie match-up that nobody expected. 
    Adapted from the short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale by Philip K. DickTotal Recall finds our hero having disturbing dreams about Mars. It doesn't take long before he learns that these dreams aren't everything they seem to be, sending him on a rampage through a future world full of double agents, robot taxi drivers and all manner of mutants in search of the truth...
    Director Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Starship Troopers) creates more mayhem with this colourful, violent, blackly comic and relentlessly enjoyable romp that doesn't pause for breath.
    You'll need to stay wide awake as we approach midnight because "one, two, Freddy's coming for you!" 
    This subconscious slasher hit from director Wes Craven (Scream) was a landmark of horror upon its release in 1984, leading to a wave of teenage insomnia. It has lost none of its power to haunt us today as killer Freddy Krueger, with his iconic razor-fingered glove, enters the minds of sleeping teens and finds increasingly inventive and surreal ways to murder them in their dreams.
    Featuring a very early performance from a fresh-faced Johnny DeppA Nightmare on Elm Street demands you stay up late, stick together and spend your night with friends at Somerset House.
