Terror en la Bahía ()

Фестиваль начинается: 20 Октябрь 2023      Фестиваль заканчивается: 21 Октябрь 2023

The Viña del Mar Terror in the Bay Fantastic Film Festival aims to bring genre cinema closer to the residents of the city and spread its attractions to the world.

Fantastic and horror movies have a cathartic function, when we watch a movie we experience the experiences of the characters without fear of suffering its effects. Violent movies, catastrophic scenarios, terror, extreme survival... provoke an emotional discharge that sometimes prepares us to face our real life.

For this reason we embark on this great adventure that is to make the first edition of Terror in the Bay so special for its audience, we hope to have many more editions and make Viña del Mar enter the map of fantastic world film festivals.
