10th JULY - FRIGHTFEST LONDON 2025
Line up ANNOUNCED
Be prepared for the weird, the wild and the wonderful as FrightFest 2025, the UK’s No.1 horror & fantasy film festival, returns to The Odeon LUXE Leicester Square for its annual five-day extravaganza, taking over seven screens, including the two at the ODEON Luxe West End.
Running from Thursday August 21 – Monday 25 August, FrightFest will showcase sixty-nine features from across the world, embracing twenty-five main screen premieres and forty-four Discovery Screen titles, including the popular ‘First Blood’ strand, the latest genre documentaries, and a 4K restoration retrospective of one of the most game-changing British shockers ever. Plus, there’s the regular short-film strand, now extended to four showcases - to be announced later. This year there are nineteen world premieres, with fourteen countries represented, spanning four continents.
Co-director Alan Jones comments: “FrightFest in its 26th year remains the UK’s Number One destination for genre fans. The 2025 event will be epic in every sense, celebrating the inventive, transgressive and diverse. So, join us for an event that has consistently remained in the Top Ten of The World’s Best Fantasy Festivals list”.
The festival opens, courtesy of Signature Entertainment, with the UK premiere of THE HOME. From director James DeMonaco, creator of The Purge franchise, comes an instant horror classic, an exhilarating ride into pure suspense-filled terror. Actor/comedian Pete Davidson gives a fantastic performance as Max; a rebellious twentysomething sentenced to community service at a quiet retirement home.
The closing night film is the UK premiere of Kurtis David Harder’s INFLUENCERS. Just when you thought it was safe to travel again, the mysterious chameleon CW pops into your social media feed and activates your FOMO in the second epic instalment of Shudder’s wildly successful original. Harder’s elevated vision is uber elegant, super unsettling, and so deliciously twisted it is destined to be one of the most talked-about genre films of the year.
