Soho Horror Film Festival 2026 Announces Its Biggest Line-Up Yet

Soho Horror Film Festival is stretching its 2026 edition across two weekends, more than 75 films and two very different ways to watch, with a theatrical run in Brixton followed by a four-day online event packed with international premieres, new discoveries and some characteristically unhinged genre offerings.

The festival returns to the Coldharbour Blue Cinema from 20 to 22 November before moving online for the Sohome Horror Film Festival from 26 to 29 November.

Opening night belongs to the international premiere of Don’t Move, a giant-spider horror comedy from the team behind Impractical Jokers. The theatrical programme continues with Australian cult comedy The Fox, featuring Olivia Colman as a practical puppet, and I Love Paris, Nicky Murphy’s vampire comedy about a French rapper trying to keep her sudden bloodlust from derailing her rise to fame.

Other premieres include Heath Benfield’s Mr Creamjeans’ Hidey Hole, which receives its European premiere, and Evan Buxbaum and Drew Mylrea’s alien abduction comedy Into the Sky, making its international debut.

The festival has also lined up a series of UK premieres, including Alison-Eve Hammersley’s found-footage mystery Erie, ocean-set ghost story Hangashore, Jamie Lee Curtis-produced paranoia thriller Sender and John Veron’s desert folk horror Godmother.

Elsewhere, the programme ranges from 17th-century Basque supernatural horror in Paul Urkijo Alijo’s The Night to Mark H Rapaport’s religious extremism tale Godhead, Louiza Zouzias’ Greek domestic horror Be a Good Girl and puppet-driven fantasy adventure Kylgor in the Grisly Abyss. Michael Schwarz’s slasher The Only One will close the theatrical portion of the festival with its European premiere.

The online event expands the programme further, with UK premieres including punk-rock alien tale The Vanishing Tour, Jackie Kelly’s Hag, Korean survival thriller Debone, reality-bending Life at Sandys, cosmic comedy horror The Thing in the Fog and Doug Jones-starring Demonetize.

A dedicated strand exploring video games and horror will be centred around Stewart Sparke’s Dead Reset, alongside Jason Trost’s interactive choose-your-own-adventure film Afar and a panel examining the relationship between games and horror cinema. Another strand will turn its attention to theatrical horror, including a preview of Severin’s documentary Theatre of Horrors: The Sordid Story of Paris’ Grand Guignol.

More than 50 short films will also screen across the event, including new work from The Coffee Table director Caye Casas and The Crying Man, starring Toby Poser and Larry Fessenden.
