It’s come to our attention that the 10 min pre-screening content for the BATTLE ROYALE 4k restoration rerelease contains some spoilers to the film. While we unfortunately can’t do anything about it because it’s built into the file, we recommend skipping the intro if you want to remain spoiler-free!

This will be my first time attending The Frida cinema's 12-hour all-night horror movie marathon, Camp Frida.

Are there any regulars out there with advice for a first timer?
