Join us for an evening of incredible short indie horror films in Brighton!
The Independent Horror Society has been dedicated to supporting grassroots horror cinema for nearly 10 years, and we’re so proud to have 2,000 committed horror fans and filmmakers in our ranks.
We have launched the Indie Film Showcase to do what we love best — bringing incredible short genre films from hugely talented filmmakers, to the wonderful UK horror community. And in December we hosted a brand-new line up of short films in London, showcasing a superb range of projects from all over the globe.
But with so much passion and hard work having gone into each and every film on the line up, we want as many folk as possible to see them. Which is why we’re delighted to be able to take them out on the road — and our next stop will be glorious Brighton!
What’s more, 25% of all profit made on ticket sales will go straight into our Creators Fund — so by coming along, you’re actively helping creators fund their next projects!
So join us at the Caroline Of Brunswick for a night of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course — over 2 solid hours of incredible short horror films.
Doors open at 6:15pm, with films starting at 6:30pm sharp. There will also be a short break between blocks.
(Please note: standard IHS Members can get tickets for £11, and IHS Pro members get them for just £6. Please see our member hubs for the codes!)
Here’s a quick preview of what’s in store:
VHX
UK, Dir: Alisa Stern & Scott Ampleford
A collection of home movies languish on a shelf, longing to be watched again. Little do they know, there’s a fate far worse than being forgotten.
Les Bêtes
USA, Dir: Michael Granberry
A mysterious rabbit with a set of magic keys summons a host of strange creatures to entertain a wicked king and his decadent court in this dark stop-motion animated fantasy inspired by the works of Ladislas Starevich.
Skulk
UK, Dir: Max Ward
In the dead of night, creatures slink through the streets of London. Foxes howl to warn when they are close. A woman wakes up in the night to the sound of foxes and shortly after notices a strange figure outside her home.
Blood Ties
France, Dir: Hakim Atoui
A brother and a sister unable to confess a secret. A mother who blames them for their ingratitude and absence. A dysfunctional medical-assistance robot. Lunch is served, bon appétit !
Paspocalypse
Netherlands, Dir: Jasper ten Hoor & Ivan Hidayat
During an evening shift in an empty office building, a young cleaning lady experiences the fright of her life.
Nervous Ellie
UK, Dir: David Yorke
Ellie, new to dating and painfully shy, struggles to control her nerves during a date with Danni, resulting in some unexpecting and shocking results.
The Skin
Spain, Dir: José Casas
Robert is a handsome gentleman who is about to experience the worst day of his idyllic life.
Fisitor
UK, Dir: Llŷr Titus
Stalked by grief for his husband and a nightmarish creature from Welsh folklore, Ioan must do his best to survive Christmas Eve.
Bull Man
USA, Dir: Rebecca England
A guilt-ridden wife has a steamy encounter with the male figurehead of a women-led sex cult and claims her sexual liberation in a blood-soaked climax.
The Pretty
Spain, Dir: Miguel Córcoles
An representative of actors arrives at the cocktail bar “The Pretty” whose waitress demands payment of a coin from all the clients who go too far with her.
Umbra
Spain, Dir: Pablo Otero
Adriana, a twelve-year-old girl, waits while her mother recovers after giving birth, but the night is long and a hospital holds many secrets and countless doors to open.
Flower Beds
UK, Dir: Georgeana Bisley
A women’s gardening job takes a dark turn, after she discovers something strange beneath the flower beds.
Body Worn Video
UK, Dir: Tony Hipwell
A child abuse call isn’t the best way to end a day, but for officers Cane and Adel, it’s not just their shift that’s about to end in this chilling new found footage horror from the creative team behind The Lure and The Heritage.
Black Hole Barry
UK, Dir: Alejandro Alberola
Right before Scott’s boyfriend moves in with him, he decides to go on a series of hookups to get the most out of his last week living alone, a decision he’s going to regret forever.
Long live indie horror!
