Evil Dead – Sky Sci-Fi – 11pm

Last but not least, our pick for tonight is this heist thriller based on true events that revolves around a group of students (including Barry Keoghan and Evan Peters) in the US who decide to rob their college library’s collection of rare books.
Helmed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Bart Layton (The Imposter), this 2018 thriller stands out thanks to its tense set-pieces, its societal commentary and its fascinating and playful storytelling structure, whereby the real-life perpetrators appear in certain scenes alongside the actors playing them.
