FRIGHTFEST 2025
FrightFest, now in its twenty-sixth year, delivered a programme of sixty-nine films played across seven screens in the Odeon Luxe at Leicester Square and Odeon Luxe West End. Kicking off with the UK premiere of THE HOME, starring Pete Davidson from THE PURGE creator James DeMonaco, the packed line-up concluded five days later with the UK premiere of INFLUENCERS, the sequel to the Shudder hit from Kurtis David Harder. In between there was a veritable smorgasbord of premieres, including Macon Blair’s long-awaited remake of THE TOXIC AVENGER, while Joe Begos returned with alien invasion splatter fest JIMMY AND STIGGS. Also returning to the festival were the Adams Family, (not that one, the other one), with MOTHER OF LIES while the much buzzed about multiverse saga REDUX REDUX received its English premiere.
