A dangerous new pathogen leads a young scientist to a rural New Zealand town. There, she must take on a bizarre cult, a property developer with a dangerous secret and a mysterious loner who haunts the forbidden pastures known as The Zone – where terrifying creatures lie in wait.

Cast and crew will be present at these special premieres!

Wild Horse Nine

Don’t miss this special advance preview of WILD HORSE NINE.

Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi in a film by Martin McDonagh (‘In Bruge’, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, and ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’) … need we say more!?! 95% on Rotten Tomatoes too!

Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris and Lee (are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ. Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

It Ends

A group of recent grads head out on a late night drive for grub, hoping to enjoy one final hangout before their paths diverge. Instead, they accidentally turn onto a never-ending, two lane hellscape surrounded by untold horrors and cosmic forces beyond their understanding.

Victorian Psycho

Be the first to see the twisted period horror/thriller VICTORIAN PSYCHO at the New Zealand Premiere!

After wowing the crowds at Cannes, the film hits our shores – with a delightfully unhinged performance from Maika Monroe and our own Thomasin McKenzie in support.

In the Year of our Lord 1858, an unusual governess named Winifred Notty arrives at the gothic manor known as Ensor House. Winifred's responsibilities include teaching the children table manners and educating them about their family history -- all whilst hiding her own psychopathic tendencies. But as staff members begin disappearing, the owners of the estate start to wonder if there may be something amiss with their new governess... Victorian Psycho invites us into the mind of a psychopath -- ttrapped in a world she cannot control, living on the border between insurrection and madness.

Crawlers

Guaranteed to make you squirm in your seat more than once, this is a must see in a dark cinema.

A catastrophic infestation of venomous and deadly spiders sends an apartment building into lockdown. Trapped inside by a police-mandated quarantine, building manager Serena and her residents battle to survive as the creatures multiply by the second. Armed with her intimate knowledge of the complex, Serena may be the only one who can keep them alive—if she can confront her deepest fear.
