FrightFest at ODEON Luxe Leicester Square
London’s primo horror film festival is once again resurfacing, Kraken-like, for its annual edition this August. Dubbed ‘the Woodstock of Gore’ by no less an authority than Guillermo del Toro, FrightFest takes over seven screens in ODEON Luxe Leicester Square and two at ODEON Luxe West End, in its biggest ever stint. For five days, the fest will showcase a terror-inducing line-up of 69 movies that promise everything from violence, gore, blood and suicide to supernatural and alien threats. It opens with a world premier of ‘Broken Bird’ by Joanne Mitchell, and closes with english premier of ‘The Substance’. Needless to say, the festival has an 18 rating. Bedwetters need not apply. Tickets are on sale from Saturday 20 July at midday.
