“We at MOTELX are absolutely thrilled to see RUIN CINEMA become a reality. For a long time, our community has felt that Portugal needed a dedicated space all year long, a spiritual home for all of us who live and breathe genre cinema. We are incredibly excited to welcome this new venue and see it become the official hub for our entire community—a place where we can gather, connect, and celebrate the very best of horror, while also championing local Portuguese films.”
