Following on from the highly
successful screenings of cult classics Reservoir Dogs, Snatch, Alien, Blues
Brothers and The Usual Suspects, the Jameson Cult Film Club returned to Dublin for
its biggest and most electrifying double screening to date. Dublin’s Mansion
House was completely transformed into the Baltimore State Forensic Hospital for
an exclusive screening of the 1991 horror thriller The Silence of the Lambs.
Organisers of the Jameson Cult Film
Club were once again challenged with transporting the audience straight into
the menacing world of Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill and lucky ticket
holders were not left disappointed! Live theatre and special effects timed perfectly with
on-screen action helped to create an
electric atmosphere throughout the screening.
Jameson and Ginger cocktails along
with ‘buffalo bill’ burgers were served while renowned DJ Aidan Kelly
took to the decks after the screening. Enjoying
the night were rugby players Devin Toner, Isaac Boss, Mike Ross and Rhys Ruddock,
male models Sam Homan and Carl Shaaban along with actor Fergus Kiely, Shane
Lennon and entertainer Shane Gillen, Michelle O’Doherty, model Sinead Noonan
,TV3's Lisa Cannon as well as Audrey Hamilton and Grace Fox.
For the uninitiated, Jameson Cult Film
Club is all about watching your favourite cult films at spectacular screenings,
staged to transport you into the film’s universe. This is a free event for
movie fans, with details at www.jamesoncultfilmclub.ie.
