See it first at The Hollywood for a special Q&A with director Taratoa Stappard.

Far from home and haunted by visions, a Māori woman uncovers gruesome secrets inside an English manor. A bold, unsettling gothic tale of identity, memory, and colonial reckoning.

With striking visual precision and a searing critique of colonial and cultural fetishisation, Stappard conjures a taut gothic atmosphere thick with foreboding. In doing so, he lays claim to a bold new cinematic territory: Māori Gothic, where the thin veneer of Victorian civility is torn away to reveal something truly monstrous beneath. Not ghosts or ghouls, but the legacy of empire itself.

COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm, Q&A directly after the feature.
