FRIGHTFEST REVIEWS
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR SOME EXTREMELY EXCITING AND ENTERTAINING REVIEWS
DRAG
A pair of estranged sisters soon find their amateur burglary going wrong in spectacular fashion due to an ill timed case of back injury. Lizzy Caplan and Lucy DeVito play the strained siblings who find themselves in a race against time before the owner (John Stamos) returns home. Iain MacLeod reviews this literally painfully funny black comedy that has more than a few other surprises in store.
INVOKING SCREAM
The sequel to the cult Chilean found footage shocker INVOKING YELL continues the saga of the cursed death metal band years after its predecessor. The past and the present collide with the discovery of a buried case of tapes and witchcraft guide of the band's singer, which brings her younger cousin face to face with the demonic evil that haunts her family.
OUR EFFED UP WORLD
A charming, character-driven sci-fi that blends unresolved grief, family tensions and big questions about humanity with a wonderfully retro space creature. Robyn Fraser reviews this thoughtful, dialogue-rich indie that feels like a throwback to 90s genre filmmaking, with plenty of heart and a delightfully campy B-movie monster.
FACES OF DEATH
The notorious mondo documentary receives a smart and entertaining 21st century makeover from director Daniel Goldhaber. Barbie Ferreira’s troubled video content moderator takes on Dacre Montgomery’s serial killer who takes inspiration from the original film in a bloody and slick update that just played at Tubi FrightFest.
PONDEROSA
Bill Camp and Jack Dylan Grazer star in this unsettling film that examines the seemingly unbridgeable generation gap between a young man and his unwanted father figure. Gore in the Store reviews this dark, often surreal vision of a splintered and increasingly artificial country that will no doubt cause a split audience reaction.
BIG BABY
A struggling LA-based scriptwriter’s latest horror creation begins bleeding into reality in this smart, self-aware slasher, as a killer in a baby mask called Big Baby sets out to murder those who tormented him as a child. Packed with surreal moments, campy kills and a likeably flawed Final Guy, this is a playful exploration of horror, creativity and the frustrations of trying to come up with an original idea.
Nina Romain reviews this quirky, blood-soaked and increasingly surreal slasher, which delivers the meta goods but could do with some serious trimming - and perhaps a bloodstained sequel.
ELECTRIC MEAT
An aspiring photographer’s obsession with his perfect muse takes a deeply disturbing turn in this surreal psychosexual horror, receiving its World Premiere at Tubi FrightFest. Perfect for fans of experimental, art house cinema, ELECTRIC MEAT is an unconventional watch that challenges our expectations of what a movie should be. Robyn Fraser reviews this visually striking and unsettling descent into madness.
IMPOSTERS
The tale of a missing child returned home gains a number of troubling dimensions in Caleb Phillips slow burn horror, receiving its English premiere at Tubi FrightFest. Iain MacLeod reviews this impressive and unsettling tale of a family and the dark secrets that could tear them apart.
BLOOD SECRET
Tubi FrightFest 2026 serves up a deliciously dark, claustrophobic thriller where two old friends, a mysterious death and messages from beyond the grave lead to a very bloody girls’ night in.
Nina reviews this kitchen-sink horror that needs to get to the kills, but plays neatly against familiar genre stereotypes.
