Organisers of Grimmfest 2025 have revealed that the “surprise” film completing the Feature film line-up will be a special preview screening of GOOD BOY, Ben Leonberg’s much-anticipated tale of canine loyalty put starkly to the test in a house full of malevolent entities
The short programmes for Grimmfest have also been announced, with at least six international premieres and ten UK premieres, all grouped into three themed programmes, plus a couple supporting feature films.
PROGRAMME ONE: FAMILY VALUES explores parental responsibilities and abuses, filial resentments and revenges, sibling guilt, and grandmotherly anxiety, in a series of tales that reminds us that blood ties can get tangled… and bloody. MORE DETAILS HERE
PROGRAMME TWO: AWKWARD offers uncomfortable situations, performance anxieties, social faux pas, peer group pressures, the tentative, treacherous nature of romance, and the slippery, competitive nature of friendship, in a series of tales in which things get a little, well… awkward. DETAILS HERE
PROGRAMME THREE: THE CRAWLING CHAOS offers encounters with Elder Gods, Cosmic Consciousnesses, dimension-spanning entities, and the darker, more repressed aspects of the Self, in a selection of Tales that might best be described as… Weird. DETAILS HERE
Grimmfest returns to Odeon Manchester between 9 and 12 October. Tickets are available on the Grimmfest website.
