Our monthly indulgent Sunday afternoon of brunch and a classic film.

October’s Hangover Lounge is Robert Siodmak’s classic Gothic thriller, a hugely influential exercise in sustained suspense, inventive photography and economic direction. The setting is a small New England town at the turn of the century; a serial killer is on the loose preying on women with disabilities. Mute servant Helen (Dorothy McGuire) works for wealthy bed-ridden Mrs Warren in her mansion; trapped indoors on a starry night, Helen feels a presence in the house, but how can she cry out for help?

Brunch + film €16; film only is normal IFI pricing. Sunday brunch is served 12pm – 4pm.
