Soho Horror Fest returns to screens big and small this November with its leviathan 2025 program! Spread over two weekends, the festival returns to the Coldharbour Blue Cinema, Brixton, for its 7th in-person event, followed by a four-day-long online home-invasion of screenings. Boasting almost 100 films, their 2025 lineup is ready to be unleashed. So in the eternal words of Shania Twain, let’s go, girls.
The undead must be in vogue this year as, emerging from its cinema grave in the fiercest fashion possible, the event will kick things off with a special bonus preview night featuring the London Premiere of Tina Romero’s zombie drag queen spectacular, Queens of the Dead.
The in-person festival proper will open with the UK Premiere of cult filmmaker (and accused rapist) Luc Besson’s take on the Stoker classic with Dracula: A Love Tale, starring Christoph Waltz and Caleb Landry Jones, with a score from legend Danny Elfman.
The zombie subgenre gets a chilling and harrowingly human take in the Daisy Ridley-starring We Bury The Dead, while vampires have a sapphic surge with the provocative and fabulous Silencio from queer auteur Eduardo Casanova. Closing the in-person festival in the stinkiest way possible will be the London Premiere of Grace Glowicki’s grave-robbing grossout Dead Lover.
With a thumb firmly on the pulse of brand new genre excellence, the festival will see the International Premiere of Markian Tarasiuk’s skin-crawling mockumentary Hunting Matthew Nichols, the twisted trauma of Crossword from Michael Vlamis, and a film that will introduce the world to the concept of Chekhov’s menstrual cup (a phrase coined by our own Sharai Bohannon) with Katherine Dudas’s hilarious Theater Is Dead.
Festival family reunions come in multitudes, led by the World Premiere of Jay Burleson’s canine kidnap nightmare, Kenneled, full of nasty body horror. Other returning directors include Shane Brady with the blood-soaked revenge wish fulfilment comedy Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fuled Karma, the European Premiere of Aaron Pagniano & Zack Ogle’s terrifying darkweb doom dive It Needs Eyes, Addison Heiman with his tentacle filled sexual Sundance sensation Touch Me, and previous audience award winner Cassie Keet bringing the harrowing International Premiere of her post-cult psychodrama Abigail Before Beatrice.
And that doesn’t even touch on the 50-plus short films playing across the events, which include new films from Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Jackson Stewart, Andrew Bowser, Lena Headey, Doug Jones, and a very talented tarantula.
