HORROR MINUS HORROR

Updated: Apr 10

A New Film Series Exploring Horror's Boundaries

10 and 17 April 2025, Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow


HORROR MINUS HORROR is a two-night film series at the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) that will test and expand the boundaries of the genre: a conversation between films that employ horror's aesthetic conventions without being considered horror, and films that explore horror's themes without using those aesthetics.



Curated by the film journalist and writer Jason Ward, the series will feature Stephen Karam's The Humans (10 April) and Andrew Haigh's 45 Years (17 April): a family drama set within a sinister frame, and a ghost story without the ghost.


The Humans (10 April 10, 7:30PM)

Director: Stephen Karam | USA | 2021 | 108 mins | 15


In writer-director Stephen Karam's adaptation of his Tony Award-winning play, three generations of a family gather in a dilapidated flat to celebrate Thanksgiving. Their bonds are stretched as secrets are unearthed and mysterious sounds bleed through the walls. The Humans stars Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Steven Yeun, Beanie Feldstein, Jayne Houdyshell and June Squibb.


45 Years (17 April, 7:30PM)

Director: Andrew Haigh | UK | 2015 | 95 mins | 15


Written and directed by All of Us Strangers director Andrew Haigh, 45 Years follows a complacently happy couple, Kate (Charlotte Rampling) and Geoff (Tom Courtenay), whose lives are thrown into disarray when the long-lost body of Geoff's first love is discovered in the Swiss Alps. For her performance, Charlottle Rampling was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
