The award-winning Soho Horror Film Festival is one of the UK’s most unique and inclusive genre festivals, embracing the belief that horror is for everyone. Dedicated to championing independent films and providing a safe, welcoming space for the horror community, Soho Horror Fest proudly waves the flag for diversity, with a strong focus on LGBTQ+ representation. With both an in-person festival in Soho every November and a virtual edition during the pandemic and beyond, the festival has become a vital source of entertainment and connection. Join Soho Horror this Fall for a thrilling mix of horror, dark fantasy, and queer cinema!

This November, the Soho Horror Film Festival roars back for its 7th anniversary, ready to thrill fearless film lovers with their next favorite scare. Early bird full festival passes are on sale now, along with a sneak peek at the 2024 lineup.

Fresh off a record-breaking Pride edition, the festival continues its commitment to spotlighting LGBTQ+ filmmakers, including the International Premiere of Michael Varrati’s feature debut THERE’S A ZOMBIE OUTSIDE. This twisted, smart, and sexy meta-horror stars Ben Baur, Tiffany Sheppis, and Peaches Christ, blending anxiety-ridden reality with gory fiction in a bloody cinematic nightmare.

For virtual festival-goers, Sohome Horror Fest 2024 offers CARNAGE FOR CHRISTMAS, a slasher from festival favorite Alice Maio Mackay, where a true-crime podcaster confronts a vengeful urban legend. Also screening exclusively online is Graham Skipper’s THE LONELY MAN WITH THE GHOST MACHINE, a Christmastime reflection on mortality featuring the last man on earth grappling with annihilation.

Expect more electrifying films, like Isaac Ezban’s dystopian horror PARVULOS and Christopher Bickel’s psychedelic acid-trip thriller PATER NOSTER AND THE MISSION OF LIGHT, alongside UK premieres of shorts like SKEETER, STAN BEHAVIOUR in which a drag queen embarks on a quest for better workplace rights, but finds herself in a dicey situation and PARTY TIME, where clowns plot a Beanie Baby heist during a satanic birthday ritual!

From 22-24 November, join the festival in Brixton’s Whirled Cinema for 3 days of chills and thrills, or catch the virtual screenings from 28 November – 1 December. Don’t miss out—mark your calendars for the full lineup reveal on 11th October, and grab your early bird passes now!
