On Saturday, May 3, Night Visions and WHS Teatteri Union proudly present two special screenings, both of which have a strong connection to the Official Selection of the April 2025 edition of Helsinki’s Night Visions International Film Festival.
Now seen on the big screen for the first time ever in Scandinavia, ABYSSAL SPIDER is a Taiwanese giant spider spectacle from director Joe Chien and screenwriter Nelson Yan, the dynamic duo behind the scarefest Butterfly Mansion which had its Scandinavian premiere in the lineup of the April 2025 edition of Night Visions International Film Festival.
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, one of the most notorious films of all time, also has a solid connection to the spring 2025 edition of the festival. Lamberto Bava, the headliner guest of April 2025 edition of Night Visions IFF, worked as the assistant director on this infamous shocker by Ruggero Deodato.
