"Antiviral is the debut feature from Brandon Cronenberg, son of Canada's king of visceral and existential horror, David Cronenberg. Dad ought to be proud because Antiviral will freak you out. It's creepy medical horror meets social commentary in a highly stylized debut. The film is set in a future world where obsessed fans can inject themselves with the diseases that their idols are suffering from. Starring Caleb Landry Jones and Malcolm McDowell, the film is a chip off the same gruesome block as Videodrome, Rabid and Naked Lunch. After the screening, Cronenberg Jr will answer your questions - live from Toronto."

Cult Projections in conjunction with the lovely folk at Icon Films have five double-passes to see the blistering new movie from modern master filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, Only God Forgives, which just won the major film prize at this year’s Sydney Film Festival.

“Only God Forgives is a stylish east-meets-west thriller, set in the back alleys of Bangkok’s criminal underworld. Julian  (Ryan Gosling)  runs a Thai boxing club in Bangkok, as a front for his drug business.  When Julian’s brother (Tom Burke)  is killed, after savagely murdering a young prostitute, his mother (Kristin Scott Thomas), the head of a vast criminal organisation, arrives to collect the body. Crazy with rage and thirsty for vengeance she demands the head of the murderers from Julian; but first, Julian must confront Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), a mysterious retired policeman - and figurehead of a divine justice. This sets in motion a range of events that leads to a bloody path of rage, betrayal, ultimate confrontation, and possibly even redemption.”

Drop me a private message via my site LETTERBOX telling me your favourite foreign thriller. I’ll pick the five best and send out the double-pass. Please remember to include a mailing address.

This giveaway competition is only open to Australian residents, sorry.

Only God Forgives is in Australian cinemas July 18.
