Celebrate the New Year with Grimmfest’s Must-See Horror Line-Up

It’s time to put down the leftover Christmas treats and focus on a new year of horror! And Grimmfest is set to kick off 2025 with an exciting new season of double bills at Manchester’s Mini Cini, a cosy 36-seat cinema located within Ducie Street Warehouse. Known for its dedication to curating unforgettable cinematic experiences, Grimmfest has once again crafted an exciting line-up of cult classics and modern favourites that will leave you serious film lovers eager for more.

The new season offers four carefully chosen double features, promising a blend of nostalgic terror and contemporary thrills. Things kick off on 31st January with Scream and Scream 2. Wes Craven’s groundbreaking slasher saga redefined the genre in the ’90s, blending self-referential humour with genuine scares. Revisiting Sidney Prescott’s fight for survival against the notorious Ghostface is the perfect way to launch Grimmfest’s 2025 schedule.

Next up, on 14th February, celebrate Valentine’s Day with a pair of films that put a dark twist on love. My Bloody Valentine and Valentine deliver slasher mayhem and heart-pounding thrills. From the grisly legend of the Valentine’s Day killer in the 1981 cult classic to the stylishly sinister 2001 horror, these films are a fittingly macabre way to mark the holiday.

The February chills continue on the 28th with two visually stunning and brutal offerings: Upgrade and Mandy. Leigh Whannell’s Upgrade is a high-octane sci-fi revenge tale, while Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy, starring Nicolas Cage, takes viewers on a psychedelic, blood-soaked journey into madness.

The season concludes on 21st March with a British horror showcase: Eden Lake and Kill List. These dark and gritty tales delve into the horrors of human cruelty and the consequences of moral compromises, offering a truly chilling end to Grimmfest’s latest Mini Cini season.

Tickets for individual double bills are priced at an incredibly reasonable £10.99, while a season pass for all four events is available for just £36.50, making it an unmissable deal for horror and cult cinema fans.

Whether you’re revisiting old favourites or discovering new ones, Grimmfest at Mini Cini promises an intimate and unforgettable experience. Don’t miss the chance to grab your tickets before they sell out!
