Monster Fest & Terror-Fi Present X In New Zealand Cinemas

MONSTER FEST PRESENTS in association with Terror-Fi Film Festival & Roadshow Films will unleash X, the latest feature from Ti West (THE INNKEEPERS, HOUSE OF THE DEVIL), in select New Zealand Cinemas from April 7.

Fresh from its World Premiere at SXSW, X will launch its local release with a New Zealand Premiere to be held in Wellington at The Roxy Cinema on April 7, followed by a weekend of screenings at both The Roxy Cinema & Event Cinemas Queen St (Auckland) and plans to expand to further cinemas across New Zealand.

Taking place in 1979, X follows a group of young filmmakers who set out to make an adult film in rural Texas, but when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, the cast find themselves fighting for their lives.

X stars Brittany Snow (PROM NIGHT), Mia Goth (SUSPIRIA), Scott ‘Kid Cudi’ Mescudi (DON’T LOOK UP), Martin Henderson (THE RING), Owen Campbell (SUPER DARK TIMES), Stephen Ure (DEATHGASM) and Jenna Ortega (SCREAM).

Shot locally in Whanganui along with Wellington, X was eligible for the New Zealand Screen Production Grant.

New Zealand Film Commission Chief Executive David Strong says “‘X showcases New Zealand’s versatile landscapes, with Texas re-created in Whanganui, Otaki, Foxton and Wellington. It also highlights the depth of talented New Zealand cast and crew who work on productions like this”.

The New Zealand Premiere of X will be held at The Roxy Cinema in Wellington on Thursday 7 April 8pm. The premiere is proudly supported by Screen Wellington and will be hosted by Terror-Fi’s Festival Director James Partridge.
