Grimmfest Opens Doors to Digital Fear Fest with Part Two

Grimmfest has officially opened the digital doors to its winter showcase, with Part Two of the 2025 festival now live and streaming across the UK. Running from 5–8 December, the online edition brings a packed line-up of fifteen feature premieres and a fresh shorts programme directly to horror fans at home, expanding the festival’s annual offering with titles that couldn’t be squeezed into October’s in-person event.

The festival’s digital hub is now active at grimmfest.onthehiway.com, where viewers can log in from midday using an email address. Access to the site is free, allowing anyone to browse Q&As, explore the selection and unlock individual titles or purchase a full-event pass. Those who pre-booked content will see their films ready to view immediately, while new purchases can be made via single tickets at £6.50 or a weekend pass priced at £55.50.

This year’s online slate spans supernatural chillers, experimental sci-fi, queer horror, psychological descent and post-apocalyptic dread, offering a curated snapshot of festival discoveries from around the world. Among the premieres is Shadows of Willow Cabin, following Albert and Devon as their online flirtation leads to a remote getaway that quickly unravels into something far more dangerous. Adorable Humans brings a dark twist to rural reinvention via a mysterious mirror that distorts reality, while Don’t Hang Up tracks a young woman navigating a long-distance relationship that becomes a lifeline when things go catastrophically wrong in Tulsa.

Other highlights include The Driftless, a haunting exploration of Midwest wilderness; Golem.AI, where friendship fractures amid the digital uncanny; and Content, a meta take on filmmaking obsession as a wannabe director blurs the line between horror and exploitation. Grimmfest also showcases Death Cycle, Where Darkness Dwells, The Tree House, It Needs Eyes, Human, The Haven and Portraits of the Apocalypse, the latter diving into zombie-fuelled chaos through interwoven perspectives in Buenos Aires. Closing out the features is Bad Haircut, a sharp-edged college-set character study, and Frankie Maniac Woman, a bloody, confrontational portrait of trauma and reinvention within the LA music scene.

The shorts programme, featuring films such as Prom Party Massacre, adds another dimension to the festival’s eclectic mix, offering emerging directors a platform alongside established voices.

Grimmfest’s growing online presence has become a welcome expansion of its October festival, offering audiences more access and flexibility while maintaining the event’s commitment to uncovering standout genre work. With all Q&As free to watch and content available throughout the long weekend, the digital edition provides an accessible gateway into the festival’s distinct brand of discovery-led horror programming.
