The Odeon Cinema at the Stack Leisure Park in Lochee, Dundee, first opened its doors in 1993 and was a treasured site for many. Unfortunately, it closed its doors in 2001. Here is the site 21 years later...
I understand the video quality is not great, but my initial intention was to capture photo's and not hight quality video footage. I wanted to share it as a memory for local folk and anyone who was interested.
Here's an excerpt from Dundee Culture explaining more about the area:
"The former cinema was part of an urban regeneration program called the Stack Complex, this replaced a part of Lochee which was dominated by the former Camperdown Works jute mill - at one time the largest in the world.
The jute mill was turned into housing, and the Cox's Stack was the centre point of the complex as it could be seen from almost any point in the city!"
The abandoned cinema has now since been demolished and a Home Bargains will soon be in its place. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

As a collector of "Flicks" magazine this video is giving me the dreads that it all ended up in skip via a digger.
Well done! Funny how these old places are kinda creepy when they’re abandoned and silent. Very interesting. Surprised to see so many things still intact.
I hate how this was abandoned, then left to ruin in the way it did, now ANOTHER Homebargains, best cinema Dundee ever had imo
Fascinating. I really hope some of the film that was left got saved. I've been looking for Odeon idents for decades and they still elude me
My childhood cinema, had so much more character than the ones that have been in Dundee since...
This brought memories flooding back. I grew up between Dundee & Perth, although moved away from the area many years ago. I used to visit this Odeon frequently. I remember seeing at the time of release Jurassic Park, Apollo 13, Toy Story, Lion King, Twister, Men In Black and many others at this cinema.
Very cool, I honestly didn't know The Little Vampire was a theatrical film. That's too bad no one tried to restore the theater over the years.
What if we can turn the tables around and restore theaters like this to retro working mint condition?
RIP ODEON Stack (1993-2001).
So sad to see it go, my gran used to taken me there
This cinema had such a short life. Anyone knows why? Was a better one build round the corner.
That’s exactly what happened. They built a bigger Odeon cinema at Douglasfield but it’s not around the corner, it’s basically on the other side of the city.
It closed because the nearby Cineworld opened in 2000 - too close for comfort. So they uprooted and built at Douglasfield. It's a pity they didn't build in the much needed city centre.
Really cool & interesting video but I have to admit that the torch light jumping about so much drove me crazy 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you! Yeah, I agree. I wish I actually took proper footage. Sorry about that.
8:16 dead birds? 🤢 wow should have demolished it ages ago
Hey what was with the bikes?
I'm not entirely sure, but since there was a lot of kids going in and out of the place, my guess is that they were possibly stolen and stored there, out-of-sight.
Is this still available to get in How did you get in ?
I'm afraid the building no longer exists. It was demolished last year.
@@paulvinova do you know of any buildings in Dundee that are still around V
@user-ne9ry7lb1n none that are worth visiting. Most have been demolished, in bad shape, or have been set aflame by local kids.
NCR Campy would be a good shout, Although it's full of Asbestos! 😅
@@ZacHenry8921 what’s ncr?
Heartbreaking to see as an x projectionist
I used to go to this Odeon cinema when it was first opened, it was a fantastic place. Just why does every abandoned building in Dundee have to get vandalised and destroyed by locals. Such a shame to see the insides just smashed up and everything left lying around the place. But now this whole cinema is now demolished and another Home Bargains shopping centre is built in its place .. like Dundee needs another shopping centre. !!!!
Flashlight aside, great video. Do you know which of the mural painting primary school kids it was that you spoke to?
Cheers Adam. I'm sorry, all I can remember is that it was a lady who said that she worked on it with a few members from her class.

ayo chill with Parkinson’s flashlights
