Director Comments

This year’s festival surpassed all our expectations for our first horror festival. The calibre of films, the creativity on display, and the conversations it sparked between the audience and filmmakers, were a testament to the power and importance of horror as a genre. More importantly, the level of filmmaking myself and the team witnessed was outstanding. More than anything, it was the people, the filmmakers, festival team, audiences, and our incredible local community who made it such a special event. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who supported this year’s festival: to those who submitted films, travelled from afar to be with us, or helped behind the scenes, we are endlessly grateful. Your passion and support are the beating heart of this festival, and we can’t wait to welcome you back next year.
