Following its annual summertime horror bonanza in August, London’s primo horror film festival – dubbed ‘the Woodstock of Gore’ by no less an authority than Guillermo del Toro – is once again resurfacing, Kraken-like, for a spooktacular weekend of Halloween screenings at the Odeon Luxe West End. Horror afficionados can expect a line-up of terrifying indie movies, typically including one or two UK premieres, each of which is screened twice.
The 2025 line-up kicks off with Paramount's killer chimp thriller Primate, followed up with a specially recorded interview with director Johannes Roberts. The line-up also includes New Zealand battle of the band comedy Deathgasm II: Goremageddon, hi-tech chiller Every Heavy Thing, creepy doll-based scarefest Dolly, J-horror flick Mag Mag, and more. Bedwetters need not apply, and, needless to say, the festival has an 18 rating.
