Pigeon Shrine FrightFest announces line-up for Halloween 2023

Hot on the horror heels of its August five-day event, the UK’s biggest genre film festival is back at the Cineworld, Leicester Square with a two-day Halloween event on Friday 27th October and Saturday 28th October, featuring nine premiere titles not yet seen in the UK.

Opening the event is the World premiere of Sam Clemens’ urban psychological chiller THE WATERHOUSE. This will be followed by the International premiere of Halloween slasher HE NEVER LEFT, the directorial feature debut of US-based director James Morris. Also attending on the Friday night is Argentinian director Gabriel Grieco, with the UK premiere of his feminist revenge horror MARIA, which completes the first day’s line-up.
Saturday kicks off with the International premiere of the flesh-eating horror musical ELDRITCH U.S.A., with director Ryan Smith in attendance. This is followed by the UK premiere of LOVELY, DARK AND DEEP, where Teresa Sutherland marks her feature debut with a shocker containing strains of folk horror, psychodrama and cosmic fever dream.
Also making her feature film debut is director Karoline Lyngbye with her Danish thriller SUPERPOSITION, receiving its UK premiere. Next up is the UK premiere of HOOD WITCH, the debut film of rising French director Said Belktibia. This is followed by the UK premiere of THE LAST VIDEO STORE, where lifelong genre movie geeks must band together to survive the supernatural apocalypse happening outside their door.

Completing the line-up is the World premiere of ghostly thriller BLUE LIGHT, from director Andy Fickman. Andy will be hosting the screening.
