TERROR-FI 2024

Wellington and Auckland tickets are now live! Christchurch soon!

From massive blockbuster hits to stunning indie gems, from gross-out slasher gore to heart-warming sci-fi romance, Terror-Fi’s 2024 line-up has something for everyone! 

This year’s programme has been carefully curated to include award-winning and audience favourite genre films from festivals like SXSW, Fantasia, Toronto, Sitges, and Fantastic Fest… with two New Zealand cult classic retro screenings thrown in for good measure!  

We’ve kept our ticket prices the same as last year… and you can buy a Fan Badge to see all 12 films for just $150 – that’s only $12.50 a film!

A massive thanks to everyone who helps make the festival a success – fans, filmakers, distributors, cinemas and sponsors.
