NYX UK In March All About The Ladies And David Cronenberg

Tomorrow is another day and an another month, NYX UK is ready for March! They will be celebrating International Women’s Day on Saturday 8th March 9pm, with a Channel premiere screening of Devanny Pinn’s The Black Mass. This takes a harrowing deep dive into the 1978 sorority house attacks committed by serial killer Ted Bundy. Pinn creates a bold and unflinching examination of real-world horror from the POV of the victims.

This is ed by the UK TV premiere of Luna Wolf’s powerful short film Siren, which follows at 10.45pm. The film explores themes of identity and trauma, immersing the audience in a psychological horror journey through the human psyche.

On Saturday 15th March, NYX UK also celebrates the birthday of the master of body horror David Cronenberg. This special tribute features Shivers (9pm) and Rabid (11pm), two of his early films that helped define his signature style. Both films challenge conventional horror tropes by merging scientific advancements with nightmarish consequences, solidifying Cronenberg’s place as a visionary in the genre. His work remains as relevant and disturbing today as it was upon release.

Also celebrated, on Tuesday 4th March  9pm, is the 102nd birthday of Nosferatu. This classic 1922 silent horror film, an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker‘s Dracula, has become an iconic symbol of early cinema and spawned several remakes, including an Oscar-nominated 2024 version directed by Robert Eggers
