Metrodome has teamed up with Vue cinemas to give cinemagoers the chance to see films for free.
Giles Edwards, Metrodome Distribution said: "The concept of credit crunch cinema was born in direct response to the negative and depressing financial crisis which dominates our news on a daily basis.
"What better way to relieve people from the stress of the credit crunch than to provide escapism in such an exciting and accessible way ...free cinema."
There Credit Crunch Cinema kicks off on May 15 with a free advanced screening One Eyed Monster. Starring adult film legends Ron Jeremy and Veronica Hart in somewhat unlikely combination wiht Buffy The Vampire Slayer's Amber Benson, One Eyed Monster is, say Metrodome: "An outrageous and spectacular homage to the classic sci-fi horror of Alien and The Thing."
A second credit crunch screening event will be held on May 22, with the gory and unrelenting Manhunt. One of the most controversial European horror films of the decade takes the newly reanimated grindhouse genre of classic 70s horror cinema back to its roots.
Then on June 5, Kerrang! exclusively present an advanced screening of the highly anticipated Dead Girl. From the producer of the seminal Hellraiser and Heathers, Dead Girl is described as "a no-holds-barred look at the horror of growing up".
All three screenings will take place at the following participating Vue Cinemas:
- Vue West End
- Vue Cambridge
- Vue Edinburgh Omni
- Vue Manchester Lowry
- Vue Bristol Cribbs Causeway
Cinema goers - who must be 18 or over - can find out about the latest Credit Crunch Cinema films and how to access free tickets by emailing creditcrunch@metrodomegroup.com
