Sunday Afternoons at the Paradise

Just when Charlie is feeling especially frustrated by the lack of excitement in her small town in California, she receives wonderful news: Her uncle and namesake, Charlie, is coming to visit. However, as secrets about him come to the fore, her admiration turns into suspicion.

Alfred Hitchcock’s own personal favourite, Shadow of a Doubt, delivers slow-burning suspense wrapped in the idyllic charm of small-town America. When young Charlie suspects her beloved Uncle Charlie may not be who he claims to be, the tension quietly mounts into a masterclass of the psychological thriller. With sly humour, chilling subtext, and a pitch-perfect performance by Joseph Cotten, this is Hitchcock at his most insidious – and intimate. Don’t miss the chance to see this taut thriller the way it was meant to be seen: on the big screen!

Aircraft factory worker Barry Kane flees across the United States after he is wrongly accused of starting the fire that killed his best friend.

From flaming airships to the Statue of Liberty, Saboteur is Hitchcock in full chase-mode. When aircraft factory worker Barry Kane is wrongly accused of sabotage, he’s thrust into a cross-country hunt to clear his name and uncover the real traitor. Packed with suspenseful set pieces, shadowy villains, and a patriotic pulse, this film is both a gripping thriller and a snapshot of wartime America. Buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of suspense and subterfuge on the big screen!

Sherlock Holmes is drawn into the case of Jack the Ripper, who is killing prostitutes in London’s East End. Assisted by Dr. Watson, and using information provided by a renowned psychic, Robert Lees, Holmes finds that the murders may have their roots in a Royal indiscretion and that a cover-up is being managed by politicians at the highest level, all of whom happen to be Masons.

Sherlock Holmes meets Jack the Ripper in this moody, atmospheric thriller that blends classic detective work with chilling true crime. Christopher Plummer brings warmth and wit to Holmes, while James Mason’s Dr. Watson is the perfect steadying foil. Directed by Bob Clark (yes, the same Bob Clark who made A Christmas Story), Murder by Decree is a richly stylized mystery that explores the dark underbelly of Victorian London—and delivers suspense with a sharp social conscience. A must for fans of Holmes and horror alike.
