🌊✨ The wait is over...

Moana has officially arrived at the Empire! 🌺

Set sail on an unforgettable adventure as Disney's beloved story returns to the big screen in a spectacular new live-action reimagining.

Packed with heart, breathtaking visuals, unforgettable songs, and the spirit of adventure, it's the perfect school holiday movie for the whole family.

🩸🪓 While the kids are enjoying the school holidays... we've got something for the grown-ups.

If you've had your fill of animated adventures, it's time to trade the family fun for buckets of blood.

The New Zealand-made horror Evil Dead Burn brings the legendary franchise back with everything fans could want: relentless terror, over-the-top gore, and an R16-rated experience that's definitely not for the little ones.

We're squeezing in an evening session amongst the school holiday line-up, because not everyone wants talking toys and singing princesses.

😈 Gore hounds REJOICE!

One for the grown-ups. Leave the kids at home... and whatever you do, don't read from the book.
