Friday Night Frights (2)

Festival start: 13 September 2025      Festival end: 13 September 2025

Brace yourself for spine-chilling, edge-of-your-seat horror that taps directly into primal fear. In this category, "Terror" films dig deep into psychological torment, leaving audiences haunted by what they’ve seen—and what they didn’t see. From sinister atmospheres to relentless suspense, these films unnerve and unsettle without needing to rely on blood and gore. They’re the nightmares you can’t wake up from, the monsters lurking in the dark, and the creeping dread that something might be watching. For films that embody sheer, raw fear, this is where they belong.
