Grimmfest’s Grim Tidings from Martin Guigui director of Paradise Cove

Grimmfest returns this Easter to but a spring in every horror fans step with five nights of fantastic films. Especially or the event we created a brand new interview feature entitled Grim Tidings which will give you the low down on some of the amazing movies they are showing.

Easter is traditionally a time for rebirth, renewal, resurrection. But as the Pandemic continues to rage, and the world remains on lockdown for the foreseeable future, it is also a time for rethinking. Thus, while the Grimmfest team had hoped to be hosting a ‘live’ Easter event, the Grimmfest Easter Edition will now be taking place online and will build on the success of the Grimmfest 2020 online experience.

Originally set for eight feature films over four nights, the event has drawn so much interest from film makers and distributors alike, that they decided to expand the scope to incorporate six more feature films, turning their Easter Horror Nights into a full on festival in its own right!

Grimmfest’s first Easter Edition kicks off on the evening of Thur April 1st, 2021 with our preview night, and then continues across the evenings of 2-5 April, with a series of feature film premiere double bills with supporting shorts and Q&As with the cast & crew of each feature. In addition, there’ll be an exclusive pass holder double bill and an ARROW double bill both of which can be accessed any time across the weekend.
