To celebrate the release of The Hunger Games, in cinemas now, CultBox sent our reviewer Eli Lower to a screening of the film in London earlier this week in association with ScreenThing.

In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games.
