Once again, Grimmfest is the place to be this October. As the festival grows ever closer, the festival is excited to share its star-studded list of confirmed guests!
Grimmfest offers a unique opportunity to see all-new movie premieres on the big screen, long before they go on general release; to see films you might never get another chance to see in a cinema. The festival also gives you a chance to get up close and personal with the actors and the filmmakers themselves. Filmmakers and performers are encouraged to socialize, often sharing a drink at the bar with audience members.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at who’s joining Grimmfest this year!
Thursday, October 9, 2025
The Grimmfest Gala Opening Night sees the World Premiere of Past Life, a twisted tale of regression therapy, repressed memory, and mental manipulation from the Grimmfest’s very own Simeon Halligan and Rachel Richardson-Jones. In attendance will be three of the film’s stars: Jeremy Piven (Entourage, Mr. Selfridge), Aneurin Barnard (Dunkirk), and Tim McInnerny (Gladiator II).



For the International Premiere of deadpan dudebro absurdist apocalyptic horror comedy Weekend At The End Of The World, the festival welcomes director Gille Klabin (The Wave) and lead actors Cameron Fife and Clay Elliot.
Friday, October 10, 2025
Director Remington Smith joins the Grimmfest festivities for the International Premiere of his stunning sociopolitical reimagination of vampire lore, Landlord.
I See The Demon Director Jacob Lees Johnson and lead actress Alexis Zollicoffer will present the International Premiere of the head-spinning psychological tour de force.
Director Dan Asma and actress Justina Biosah will be in attendance for the international premiere of Tribe, a dazzling, disorientating mix of found footage, folklore, and paranoid conspiracy theory.
Frankie, Maniac Woman sees the welcome return to Grimmfest of director Pierre Tsigaridis (Two Witches, Traumatika) along with lead actress Dina Silva to present this confrontational and cathartic tale of ferocious female empowerment.


Saturday, October 11, 2025
Prolific Japanese director Kenichi Ugana (Love Will Tear Us Apart) will be here for the UK Premiere of his unhinged splatter satire of careerism, consumerism, and creative megalomania, Incomplete Chairs.
Writer-Director Tim Connery will be joining us for the World Premiere of the anthology, The Driftless, an unsettling, atmospheric, surprisingly lyrical dark hymn to the American Midwest.
Sunday, October 12, 2025
Director Manu Herrera, along with lead actresses Maggie Garcia, Patricia Penalver, Eve Ryan, and Elena Gallardo, prosthetics/makeup designer Pedro De Diego, and composer Joan Martorell will be at Grimmfest for the World Premiere of Lily’s Ritual. The film is an unapologetically old-school shocker, which delights in taking tried and tested genre tropes and tweaking and twisting them in unexpected and haunting fashion.
Director Jake Myers will be in attendance for the North West Premiere of the drily comic, slyly satiric workplace body horror Kombucha, the pitch for which was “David Cronenberg’s Office Space“, a description it’s damn near impossible to better
And Grimmfest is welcoming director Sergio Pinheiro, director of photography Roy Rossovich, and producers Andy Myers and Aaron Mack for the International Premiere of Wormtown, which melds Southern Gothic with sociopolitical satire and gross-out body horror into an understated but unnervingly on-point allegorical shocker.
