"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Schumacher’s unrestrained direction owns on the big screen, especially on a print as sharp as this one. Lots of dust and several cuts; the scene where the vampires tell Michael what they really are is covered in green lines. DATE: October 31st 2022 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End"
