New Zealand Premieres:

Possessor
A film that could only have come from the mind of a Cronenberg. Brandon, son of David, takes us on a visceral, chilling and “uncut” rollercoaster ride.

Synchronic
New Zealand finally gets to see what all the fuss was about its World Premiere at Toronto Midnight Madness last year. If you’ve seen Benson and Moorhead’s previous films, The Endless and Spring, you know you’re in for a treat.

Antebellum
This ebony and ivory directing duo, with a little help from the producers of Get Out and Us, present a truly unique look at a timely topic.

Psycho Goreman
"Absurdly funny with enough gore to flood an abattoir”. Need we say more about this horror comedy about a young girl who befriends murderous space alien?

Spree
A rare breed of film that’s both completely disturbing and thoroughly entertaining at the same time. We’ve all met a Kurt. And after seeing what this Kurt’s willing to do for followers, we might never catch an Uber again.

Reunion
Kiwi filmmaker Mahaffy has expertly crafted a truly haunting film, with an emotional heart and shocking conclusion. New Zealand has a true genre classic on its hands. We have special Q&A screenings for this film too.

Rent-a-pal
Indie filmmaking at its finest. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry… and you’ll be utterly shocked. If Terror-Fi handed out Best Actor Awards, Brian Landis Folkins would win hands down.

Alone
This perfectly executed game of cat and mouse, reminiscent of classic thrillers like The Hitcher, will have you leaving the cinema feeling like you were the one being pursued.

Sator
They say “good things take time” and they were right. It took 5 years for Jordan Graham to direct, write, edit, and score this masterpiece of unsettling minimalist horror – based on his Grandmother’s experience with the aforementioned entity. For those who love films like The Witch.

Clapboard Jungle
McConnell’s Lifechanger premiered at Terror-Fi in 2018 and you’ll get to see an honest and open look at what it takes to try and make your filmmaking dreams come true, with insight from a host of leading genre filmmakers, producers and sales agents. This screening will be followed by a special one hour Masterclass from Justin and others (via Zoom).

Wellington Premiere:

Sputnik
An intoxicating mix of alien action, military thriller and relationship drama, combines to create one of the best sci-fi blockbuster in many years. Russian genre filmmaking has truly come of age.

Retro Classic Events:

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Join us on Halloween for cocktails, dress up and prizes for the first of our vampire themed retro events.

From Dusk Till Dawn
A truly unique dinner and movie event. Enjoy dinner at Coco and then this action horror classic on a pristine 35mm print.

Free Event:

NZ Shorts
A special free screening of some awesome NZ genre shorts.
