We have three huge blockbuster premieres for you to enjoy. POSSESSOR, starring Angela Riseborough (Mandy), is the new mind-bending sci-fi horror from Brandon Cronenberg – son of legendary filmmaker David Cronenberg. Following on their smash indie hit The Endless, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead bring us the wild time-travel ride that is SYNCHORNIC, starring Jamie Dornan (50 Shades of Grey) and Anthony Mackie (Marvel Universe’s Falcon). And from the producers of Get Out and Us comes ANTEBELLUM, a truly unique take on U.S. history with a star turns from Janelle Monáe (Moonlight) and Jena Malone (The Hunger Games series).

The sensational Russian sci-fi SPUTNIK opens the festival, with an exclusive Wellington premiere screening – not to be missed! We’re also excited to bring you the New Zealand Premiere of the new Kiwi horror REUNION, starring Julia Ormond and shot right here in Wellington!

It wouldn’t be Terror-Fi with some incredible indie gems to discover, all of which you’ll be the first to see. There’s the hilarious sci-fi comedy horror PSYCHO GOREMAN, the spine-tinglingly creepy SATOR, rideshare slaughter-fest SPREE, twisted buddy horror RENT-A-PAL, and intense road trip thriller ALONE.

As if that wasn’t enough, Terror-Fi is also hosting its first documentary, the NZ Premiere of CLAPBOARD JUNGLE, an insightful look into what it takes to a genre filmmaker. The film will be followed by an exclusive filmmaking masterclass with local and international guests.
