Starting May 21, 2026, the Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinema will proudly host the monthly ZZZ Roadshow, a special film screening event dedicated to showcasing low-budget Z-grade movies that are sure to entertain and surprise. This initiative is spearheaded by Humax Entertainment, led by CEO Michio Akimoto, and is aimed at cinephiles who appreciate the unexpected.

Event Overview

The ZZZ Roadshow aims to deliver an unforgettable cinematic adventure where genre constraints are cast aside, and the focus is on presenting impactful, outrageous films that might just keep you awake! Audiences can look forward to fascinating discussions led by local filmmakers and special guest speakers discussing their experiences behind the scenes of their offbeat projects.

Monthly Highlights

The screenings will be held every third Thursday or Friday of the month at 7:30 PM. Each presentation will be a one-night-only event, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the unique experience that the ZZZ Roadshow promises.

To kick off the event, the first film scheduled for May 21 is "Killing Kite" (2023), an American horror flick about Abby, who inherits a seemingly cursed kite from her grandmother. After giving it to her brother with a simple promise, they soon find that this kite holds dark secrets, leading to a series of bizarre occurrences in their town.

Get Ready for More Thrills

Here is a sneak peek of some planned films for upcoming months:
1. Hell's Merry-Go-Round 2 - Set against the backdrop of WWII, this film follows the story of a mystical horse named Duke who awakens after a long slumber and must confront his dark past.
2. Catnado - The latest addition to the quirky disaster genre, where fierce cats create chaos during a tornado, bringing hilariously frightening circumstances for humanity.

Tickets & Availability

Tickets for the ZZZ Roadshow will be available starting May 8, 2026, with online sales opening at midnight (technically May 7), exclusively for Humax Cinema WEB members three hours before general sales start.
