Competition time

Wildcard Distribution have given Horrorthon three pairs of tickets to an exclusive secret Dublin screening of new Irish horror thriller Citadel on Thursday 13th June 2013. 

The lucky winners will also attend the after party, with free beer and pizza, and music on the night provided by Phantom DJs.

Directed by Dubliner Ciaran Foy, Citadel is the award winning, and critically acclaimed new Irish film that has been terrorising audiences worldwide.

Citadel is about a young father inflicted with chronic agoraphobia since his wife was brutally attacked by a gang of twisted feral children. Trapped in the dilapidated suburbia of Edenstown, he finds himself terrorised by the same gang, who now seem intent on taking his baby daughter.
Torn between the help of an understanding nurse and a vigilante priest, he sets out to learn the nightmarish truth surrounding these hooded children. Check out the trailer below.

To enter the draw for a free pair of tickets, just send an e-mail with your name and phone number to horrorthon_info@horrorthon.com and put Citadel as the subject.
