FRIGHTFEST HALLOWEEN 2025
Returning to London once more to take over the spooky season, FrightFest Halloween 2025 will showcase nine premieres over one blood curdling weekend.
Kicking off with the UK premiere of killer chimp extravaganza PRIMATE, other highlights include cult director Mickey Reese’s latest comedy thriller hybrid EVERY HEAVY THING and the sure to be gruelling remake THE TURKISH COFFEE TABLE. Jessica Rothe returns to the screen in sci-fi shocker AFFECTION while Justin Long defends his family from a pack of killer coyotes in… COYOTES. The diverse line-up also includes films from the Philippines (POSTHOUSE), New Zealand (DEATHGASM II: GOREMAGEDDON) and Japan (MAG MAG) as well as the US Grindhouse stylings of DOLLY.
Make sure to check out our festival coverage for news, reviews and more when the festival takes place over the 31st October and 1st November in London’s Odeon Luxe West End.

THE RUNNING MAN REVIEW:
Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s prescient novel struggles to match the tone not only of its source material but also finds itself lacking in comparison to Schwarzenegger’s daft 80’s actioner.
Iain MacLeod reviews this missed opportunity that is also Wright’s least satisfying film to date.
OCTOBER 2024 In Cinemas
FRANKENSTEIN REVIEW:
Finally, someone decided to adapt Frankenstein into a film! Guillermo Del Toro’s long in the works passion project arrives briefly on cinema screens before it shuffles onto Netflix.
Iain MacLeod reviews the lavish spectacle that aims to be the definitive adaptation of Mary Shelley’s immortal classic but somehow comes up short.
