Climax – Film4 – 2.05am
If you're still awake, you can check out our New Year's Eve movies on TV – this psychological horror from provocateur filmmaker Gaspar Noé (Enter the Void, Irreversible).
Set in 1996, the film revolves around a French dance troupe (led by Sofia Boutella, Rebel Moon) as they mark the end of a day's rehearsal in an abandoned school with a party. However, proceedings take a dark turn when a shared bowl of sangria is spiked with LSD, sending each dancer into turmoil, confusion and a psychotic state.
While the often extreme and graphic Climax scenes aren't exactly for everyone, the film's journey from the incredible celebratory dance sequences of its first half to the truly disturbing and confusing horror of its second half makes it an unforgettable viewing.
Not for the faint-hearted, Climax is also available to rent from Microsoft for €2.99. Watch its trailer here:
