One of the original film’s taglines was “in space no one can hear you scream” – and this exclusive Guys’ Night screening promises to make even the toughest guys scream loudly. It is a fast-paced, actionpacked spectacle – filled with scenes of pure horror, as the Xenomorph-monster starts chasing her victims.
Guys’ Night is exclusively for men to see what all the talk is about before the movie releases at cinemas nationally the next day. Spot prizes will be given away on the night, along with other surprise goodies.
