Screening location: Here-After (21+) – alley entrance, 2505 1st Ave, Seattle
Join us at the Here-After for a 25th anniversary screening of Kinji Fukasaku’s dystopian masterpiece, BATTLE ROYALE! The majority of the ticket gross will go to our relocation fund.
In the near future, the economy has collapsed, unemployment has soared, and juvenile crime has exploded. Fearful of their nation’s youth, every year the Japanese government sends a 9th grade class to a remote island where they will be locked into exploding neck collars, given a random weapon, and forced to hunt and kill each other until there is only one survivor left.
In Japanese with English subtitles.
Please note: Here-After is a 21 and over establishment. The entrance is via the alley in back of The Crocodile building. Get there early to order tasty beverages from the bar and delicious food from Tat’s Deli!
“One of Japanese cinema’s most daring and influential crowning achievements… it remains one of the finest treasures to ever grace genre cinema.” Kieran Fisher, Dread Central
“It’s a movie that never lets you settle down, zipping between satire and splatter, offering moments that will make the most hardened viewer cringe and snatches of quiet melancholy that will haunt you for a long time.” Kim Newman, Empire
