Eye For Film >> Festivals >> A-Z >> Grimmfest >> 2025
This year's Grimmfest is a treat for horror-fans, with a line-up which barely overlaps at all with 2025's other big genre festivals. opening with festival directors Simeon Halligan and Rachel Richardson-Jones' own Manchester-made thriller Past Life, it features the latest work of Shawnee Smith, Jeremy Pivan, Dev Patel and more. There's lots to look forward to.
The festival runs from 9 to 12 October
