The second of our June 'Terror-Fi Presents' is equally awesome! Be the first to see THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD at our special Wellington and Christchurch Premieres.

‘Logan’ meets ‘The Northman’ in a powerful reimagining of the classic tale, where director Michael Sarnoski (‘Pig’, ‘A Quiet Place Day One’) shoots an arrow into the heart of the legend. Hugh Jackman delivers a truly moving performance as the tortured hero, alongside the always brilliant Jodie Comer and an almost unrecognisable Bill Skarsgård.
