Dirt In The Gate Movies Presents – Jacob’s Ladder (1990)

Experience a rare 35mm presentation of Jacob’s Ladder, Adrian Lyne’s haunting descent into fractured memory and metaphysical dread. Starring Tim Robbins as Jacob Singer, a Vietnam veteran struggling to rebuild his life in New York City, the film unfolds as a waking nightmare—where reality splinters, time collapses, and unseen forces seem to stalk him from the shadows. As Jacob’s visions grow increasingly disturbing, the boundaries between trauma, paranoia, and the supernatural dissolve, leading to one of the most unforgettable and emotionally devastating finales in modern horror.

Shot by cinematographer Jeffrey L. Kimball and released in 1990, Jacob’s Ladder blends psychological horror with spiritual allegory, influencing decades of genre filmmaking and video games with its nightmarish imagery and visceral practical effects.

Projected on 35mm, the film’s gritty textures, shadow-drenched interiors, and tactile grain heighten its disorienting power—restoring the raw, analog intensity audiences first experienced. This special screening offers a chance to encounter a cult classic as it was meant to be seen: immersive, unsettling, and profoundly human. So book your tickets now for this very special event.

Dirt In The Gate Movies Present – KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR (2025) – [35mm]

2025 | 281m | USA | (18) | 2.35:1 | Dolby Digital

Fans have long discussed whether Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 counts as one movie or two, with Quentin Tarantino himself also weighing in on the debate. In 2019, he confirmed to Cinemablend that it is in fact, one film, with the director explaining – “Technically we released it as two movies.. There are closing credits and opening titles [on each movie], but I made it as one movie and I wrote it as one movie, [so it’s one movie].”

Now, thanks to DIRT IN THE GATE MOVIES, cinema fans in Dorset get to experience the Kill Bill story as Tarantino intended with KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR exclusively in its native 35mm format. This remastered version combines both parts into one complete movie, removing the original cliff-hanger ending and recap sequences from Volume 1 and 2, and features a never-before-seen anime sequence.

Don’t miss your chance to see this epic screening which will be a true ‘I was there’ moment for cinema aficionados.

So book your tickets now for this very special event.

Spielberg balances sweeping historical drama with intimate, personal moments, creating a film that is both visually impressive and deeply moving. It shows how his filmmaking matured through the 1980s, focusing not just on spectacle but on emotion, resilience and the power of storytelling.
