WORLD PREMIERE - Summer 1982, and in a small, declining Oregon town, excitement has been building for days. A Hollywood studio is holding a test screening of a new blockbuster movie in the local cinema. Could it be the new John Carpenter, the latest Steven Spielberg, or another STAR TREK? Four lifelong friends can’t wait to take their seats for the preview. But rather than a toe-dip screening, the film they watch is a mind-control experiment with terrifying and devastating effects on the community. Get ready for the sci-fi high of the year as THE THING meets SOCIETY in a ‘Stranger Things’ universe.
