We have trailers for films you can see at this year’s Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival.

EVERY WEEK, WE bring you three trailers for films that are out this weekend.

This gory Welsh language horror, directed by Lee Haven Jones, centres on a mysterious young waitress tasked with serving privileged guests at a remote dinner party, where things quickly begin to unravel.
