Ready to take centre stage DEAD BY DAWN. Who’d have thought the true heir to the Italian giallo maestro’s would hail from… Poland? Dawid Torrone’s malicious movie is a frenzied update of Soavi, resulting in a delirious & gory slasher!

πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈ A unique zombie movie, in this economy??? From director Zak Hilditch (THESE FINAL HOURS) comes a harrowing new take on the end of the world. Starring Daisy Ridley, WE BURY THE DEAD is a cathartic pre-apocalyptic journey through grime and grief as beautiful as it is haunting.

Opening the in person Soho Horror Fest 2025, with our most star studded film yet, we are delighted to be hosting the UK Premiere of Luc Besson’s DRACULA. An inimitable reimagining of the Bram Stoker classic that embraces the gothic in all its majesty, grandeur and romanticism.

If you see people having fun discussing horror movies, don't do this. It's not witty. It's not helpful, and it's certainly not original. At best, it's INCREDIBLY annoying, and at worst, it sounds like you're shaming someone for daring to not think about politics 24/7. Either way, you're an asshole.

No, no...I think you misheard: The RAPTOR is coming this week. Still a cause for concern, I suppose. You could stay inside, but she can open doors. Clever girl.

Depressingly, I have encountered a number of English folks who are genuinely that bigoted and dumb as shit so it could be either. Hope it's a bot, though.
