Pest Control Film Festival is a Michigan-based festival committed to screening the horrific, the bizarre, the esoteric, and all other disquieting cinematic subgenres. Our brand has a wide range suited for equally wide reach: traditional horror, B-movie schlock, experimental oddities, grindhouse glory, animated aberrations, and the like. We encourage submissions that think outside the box and dare to challenge their audience. In other words: WE LOVE WEIRD!
