The event is for ages 18+, so drinks can also be taken into the auditorium.

Ritz’s annual Horrorfest is organized this year on November 15th, featuring horror classics rarely seen on the big screen! A common thread for this year’s films is that both were banned by film censorship in Finland and only got their actual theatrical premiere after the law was abolished in 2001. The films are The Evil Dead (1981) and Battle Royale (2000)!

17.30 – Doors Open
18.00 – The Evil Dead
20.15 – Battle Royale

The bar is open during the event and in between films we will have Aroma’s sourdough pizzas for sale, 6€ á (limited amount, one veggie and one meat option).

Tickets: Both movies 15€, single movie 10€. Tickets are sold at the door only. The films will be screened with English subtitles. 

The Evil Dead (1981)

Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons. Raimi’s seminal horror made a cult icon of Bruce Campbell and turned its director into hot property. Much imitated, but never bettered, The Evil Dead was the birth of an independently-spirited, viscerally- minded new wave in low budget horror cinema.
Director: Sam Raimi
Film rated 16+ (Screening 18+ due to alcohol sales)

Battle Royale (2000)
At dawn of the new millennium, the country is in a state of collapse.
Unemployment stands at 15% with millions out of work. School violence is out of control and rebellious teenagers stage mass boycotts. The beleaguered government retaliates with Battle Royale…. Each year a randomly chosen class is pitted against itself on an abandoned island in a cruel game of survival.
Director: Kinji Fukasaku
Film rated 18+
