Tubi FrightFest, the U.K.’s biggest horror and fantasy film festival, has unveiled the lineup for its 27th edition, with a presentation of movies it says is the biggest in its history.
82 features will screen during the five-day event — taking place in the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square and Odeon Luxe West End in London from Aug 27-31 — including 24 world premieres and spanning 16 countries across four continents.
Opening Tubi FrightFest’s bloodied curtains is the world premiere of “Nervous,” Abner Pastoll’s subversive, cross-cultural tale of psychological alienation and dangerous obsession, shot entirely in South Korea. The film reunites Pastoll with his “A Good Woman Is Hard To Find” star Sarah Bolger, who plays a woman losing her ability to hear men’s voices.
Also from Korea comes the Cannes-bowing “Colony,” the hotly-anticipated zombie shocker from Yeon Sang-ho, whose cult hit “Train to Busan” — and its animated prequel “Seoul Station” — will also screen to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Also in the Asian lineup is Indonesian genre filmmaker Joko Anwar’s horror-comedy and 2026 Berlinale favourite “Ghost in the Cell,” plus “Salmokji: Whispering Water,” which recently became the highest-grossing Korean horror film of all time, and remastered editions of cut Japanese titles “Crazy Lips” and “Gore from Outer Space.”
