WildClaw has free passes to this week's screening of the new horror thriller from Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the screenwriters of SAW VI, V and VI, THE COLLECTOR, on Thursday, July 30 at 7:30pm 600 N. Michigan, Chicago!
Each pass admits two (2) people. If you are interested in attending, email us at drac@wildclawtheatre.com. First come, first served.
Synopsis: Desperate to repay his debt to his ex-wife, an ex-con plots a heist at his new employer's country home, unaware that a second criminal has also targeted the property, and rigged it with a series of deadly traps.
Please note: You need to be in the theater lobby at least one (1) hour before the screening in order for a WildClaw rep to give you your pass. Seriously. After all, we want to see the movie too! So, if you indicate that you are coming, be there. Or we will send the Collector after you.
