Cult
From the mind-altering and unclassifiable to fantasy, sci-fi and horror.

Birth/Rebirth
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein gets a new lease of life in this chilling morality tale from debut director Laura Moss.

Late Night with the Devil
Like Ghostwatch reimagined as a cheesy 1970s chat show, this deviously clever found-footage horror has scares to spare.

Nightwatch – Demons Are Forever
This journey into the Nightwatch universe will appeal to both newcomers and fans, and features cracking turns from Fanny Bornedal, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Kim Bodnia.

Red Rooms
The allure of the serial killer is explored in this deeply unsettling and unforgettable exploration of the impact of extreme violence.

Scala!!!

Stopmotion
This eerie, utterly compelling British horror centres on a filmmaker spiralling into a nightmare of delusions after the death of her domineering mother.

Vincent Must Die
Stéphan Castang’s darkly paranoid comedy shades into an apocalyptic nightmare, as a man suddenly finds himself a universal victim.
