This November, Husets Biograf celebrates the joy of cinematic cults, not the ones with matching robes (though we won’t judge), but the cults that form around the screen. The kind that turn midnight movies into rituals, misfits into families, and one-time flops into lifelong obsessions. From Rocky Horror’s midnight devotion to Hedwig’s glittering rebellion, from witches in love to dreamers in smoke-filled cafés, this month’s films prove that every outcast finds their crowd eventually, usually under the warm flicker of a projector.
And good news, we’re finally on Letterboxd. It’s where our collective obsession lives on, one star rating at a time.
Volunteer Corner - the Cult Leader of Bad Movies: Bjørn
Bjørn is one of the longest-active volunteers at Husets Biograf. Active since 2013, he has been hosting the recurring monthly event The Bad Movie Club since 2017 — a celebration of all the films we love to laugh at for all the wrong reasons. After all, nothing is so bad that it can’t be good.
Within the sacred halls of Husets, Bjørn has become something of a prophet for cinematic disasters, the kind of man who can turn a movie night into a group exorcism of plot holes and questionable acting choices.
At The Bad Movie Club, none of the traditional theater rules apply: we actually want you to get loud, shout sarcastic remarks, and join in on the fun.
This month, Bjørn recommends checking out Rich Kids on November 28th. This screening marks the first time The Bad Movie Club is showing a Danish film — and it also happens to be Bjørn’s birthday (so bring presents!).
This movie desperately wants to be Christiane F., Requiem for a Dream, and Pusher all at once. Attempting to portray the destructive and decadent lives of Denmark’s preppy youth, it aims for edgy and profound — but lands somewhere between pretentious and unintentionally hilarious.
Follow Bad Movie Club on Instagram for future screenings, where Bjørn and the congregation of cinematic sinners continue to prove that sometimes, the worst films bring out the best audiences.
Volunteers Recommend - Cult Favourites Beyond November
Even after the café is closed, our volunteers keep the faith.
These are the cult films they’d pass on like secret handshakes to anyone ready to be converted.
Luis Recommends: Amanece, que no es poco (1989)
It is a surreal Spanish comedy blending absurd humor, philosophical dialogue, and rural eccentricity. Its dreamlike narrative humorously reflects on human nature and society. Today it’s a cult film, and fans can visit Ayna, the picturesque village in Albacete where it was filmed, explore the set, and take photos with life-size character cutouts.
We screened it 5 or 6 times in the cinema.
Christine Recommends: Fight and Fury (2020)
A highly underappreciated so-bad-its-good gem with our main man Shuny Bee stumbling has way through wise words and beating up supervillain humantraffickers that are two heads taller than him in style. THIS is what i love about bad movies - no set, no experience, no money and no actors, just a passion for telling a simple story the most complicated and hilarious way.
Rasmus Recommends: Dollman (1991)
Tim Thomerson pulls a great performance in a film with a small budget. You can tell there was a lot of scenes where they just filmed Dollman separately, so it looks like he's small. With memorable quotes like "You're right fat boy!" and upbeat music being played over drugridden ghetto blocks, Dollman is an excellent case of so bad it's good.
Casper Recommends: Be Kind Rewind (2008)
Gave me and 2 other volunteers the idea to start the movie making festival "Blockbuster Blow-up Fest" in the cinema and still making low budget remake and original movies from time to time

If you’re Thomas ending in 8, congrats, you’re Binary Cache and probably wanted in three jurisdictions.
The Gospel According to Rock
Some cults worship silence, ours worships tunes, leather jackets, and power chords.
This month, Husets Biograf turns the screen into an altar for the faithful followers of film and sound. From the soul-preaching Dubliners of The Commitments (November 3) to Hedwig and the Angry Inch’s (November 14) glam-rock resurrection, our November lineup proves that music and movies share the same holy spirit: rebellion.
On November 13, the ritual peaks with Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, a cinematic hymn to the greatest band in the world. Before the screening, we’ll unveil Rock’n’Bingo, a new pre-show rite of passage where riffs replace rosaries and sing-alongs earn salvation (plus prizes).
Join the cult. Bring your air guitar.
The cult is strong this month, here’s your full list of rituals, screenings, and cinematic oddities.
The Ten Commandments of Cult Cinema
There’s no single definition of a cult film, but there is a shared spirit.
It’s what happens when a movie crosses from screen to scripture, when fans stop being an audience and start being disciples.
So before you join us for Rocky Horror, The Room, or The Big Lebowski, remember the sacred rules of the reel…
Thou shalt not watch it alone.
Thou shalt throw things at the screen responsibly.
Thou shalt never apologize for loving The Room.
Thou shalt dress for the movie, not the occasion.
Thou shalt quote it until your friends beg for silence.
Thou shalt not judge low budgets.
Thou shalt cheer when the hero enters, or when the monster does.
Thou shalt abide, and raise thy White Russian with reverence.
Thou shalt remember: the weirder, the better.
Thou shalt return next month, for the next ritual.
Praise be to celluloid.
The commandments are written, the reels are blessed, and the café lights are back on.
Go forth, faithful film lovers, quote loudly, dance the Time Warp, raise your White Russians, and never watch alone.
Until the next screening: keep the faith, and keep it weird.
