“ZZZ Roadshow” to be held monthly at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas!

A series of low-budget "Z-movie" screenings will begin on a monthly basis! Please enjoy these films that you rarely get to see in theaters!

Humax Entertainment Co., Ltd. has announced that "ZZZ Roadshow" will be held monthly at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas!
Even a low-budget, B-movie once a month is fine, isn't it…?
No matter what's shown, accept it as it is!
This is an event screening featuring impactful films that transcend genres, so much so that you won't be able to sleep even if you hear ZZZ…
As this is an event screening, we'll have behind-the-scenes talks by shark movie rookie, Nakano Dankichi, and others, so we'll have plenty of "after-show support" (?).
We are also planning various events to commemorate your visit, such as stamp cards, so please look forward to them!

"Killer Kite: Flying Killer Kite"

<STORY>
Abby receives a somewhat eerie kite as a memento from her grandmother.
When I casually entrusted the kite to my brother, it led to his inexplicable death, and the kite suddenly disappeared.
Soon, a series of bizarre incidents begin to occur in the town, where people are attacked by "kites floating in the sky."
It wasn't just a toy. It was a "killer kite" that seemed to have a will of its own, relentlessly pursuing and taking people's lives.
Abby investigates with her best friend and colleagues, but the past surrounding the kite is eerily twisted and not something that can be easily solved.
Will the true nature of this cursed kite ever be revealed?
And can the chain of tragedies be stopped?

"Hell's Wooden Horse 2"

<STORY>
In 1944, the German army secretly completed the "wooden horse with a soul," Duke, and handed it over to the unsuspecting American army.
In the present day, Duke, having awakened from a long slumber, has left his daily life as a carousel in an amusement park and now lives as a being that kills humans.
However, one day, she is reunited with her son Robbie, who was raised by humans.
For a brief moment, the two animals reunite with their parent. But behind the scenes, survivors of the former German army, who have gained the power to defy aging, are closing in on them.
Eventually, Duke is framed, and Robbie is kidnapped—
