Check out the first wave of feature films coming to Grimmfest below!
From Darkness
Guilt, emotional damage, and fear of the dark collide with local legend, a treacherous landscape, and an unseen threat, as a park ranger and her former partner search for a missing woman in a vast and dangerous nature reserve.
KillHer
A weekend hen party camping trip goes badly and bloodily wrong, as tensions are exposed, friendships betrayed, and psychopathologies unleashed, in Robyn August’s smart and surprisingly savage satiric slasher, KillHer.
Beezel
Aaron Fradkin, director of Val, makes a welcome return to Grimmfest with the International premiere of Beezel, an enigmatic and unsettling chronicle of the increasingly sinister legends and dark history surrounding a suburban New England house over 50 years.
The Well
Federico Zampaglione channels the classic era of Italian Gothic horror cinema in the full-blooded and ferocious fable, The Well. Terrifier 2’s Lauren Lavera stars as an ambitious young art restorer, enlisted by a sinister Baroness to salvage a fire-damaged family portrait, only to discover demonic activities down in the cellar.
Amsterdam Alert
Amsterdam Alert is a masterclass of white-knuckle cinema verité storytelling, in which the city of Amsterdam is faced with the thirty-minute countdown to a nuclear strike, and the instinct for survival overrides every other consideration. In the current global political climate, it’s a film that feels all-too-terrifyingly real.
