Rhyller Thriller, once described as the ungodly love child of a film festival and a horror convention, returns in 2025.

Lauded as putting Rhyl, North Wales on the Horror map, here is what you will need to know about 2025. Our Third festival will run for an expanded TWO DAYS from Saturday August 30th to Sunday the 31st at the iconic Rhyl Little Theatre. We are a one screen event that will run from 10 am until 11pm on both days. The theme is all things Horror including Giallo , Slasher , sci-fi, fantasy ,thriller and everything in between.

In our previous 2 years we have shown 3 Premieres and over 70 short films.

attendees can expect to see films on our custom 9 Ft screen and to be seated in an Edwardian style Auditorium in one of North Wales oldest theatres . Following each film or block of shorts expect a Q&A session and interview with the film makers hosted by either Chad or Jason, all interviews will be filmed and pushed out on our social media. Our dedicated team truly love Horror and the level of talks will be of a quality you will have rarely experienced. We have a fully stocked bar and a plethora of alternative stalls at our events and this year we hope to have a food truck and also some horror based seminars .

The Rhyller Thriller team are actively involved in film making, so we understand the love you have for your projects and what you will have been through to get your films to the screen. We can only hope you trust us with your hard work and will want to return in the future.
