After announcing their already landmark-sized hybrid 2022 programme, the Soho Horror Film Festival has more announcements to make. What, did you think they were done? Along with the centerpiece films for both the in-person and virtual festivals, there's also a host of special events, and the reveal of it's incredible official festival art from Cal Gee.
As the in-person festival occurs from the 11th to 13th November at the Whirled Cinema, Brixton, the headline film will be the U.K. Premiere of Satanic Hispanics. A kick-ass anthology with a bad-ass name, it features segments from cult directors who previously brought hits such as Terrified, The Blair Witch Project, Culture Shock, Big Ass Spider, and Juan of the Dead. This unrelenting tapas of terror is a Latinx-rated collection of stores that promises buckets of gore, side splitting hilarity, and cutting social commentary.
Not to be outdone, the virtual festival running online from 17th to 20th November has its own centerpiece film. It will feature the U.K. Premiere of the Kyle Gallner starring Mother, May I?, a psychological two-hander from Porno's Laurence Vannicelli. What unfolds is a devilishly twisted take on the possession genre, as a man returns to sell his childhood home only to find his wife has started acting like his recently deceased mother. One for Dr. Freud.
Also filling out the online festival will be a trio of unmissable live events. Ghouls Magazine will be joining in for the QUEENS OF KING panel, discussing the master of horror's works from a distinctly feminine perspective, alongside a short film competition of fan-made Stephen King adaptations (Enter now!). For anybody expecting one live podcast, prepare to have your excitement doubled. The joined podcasting forces of A NIGHTMARE ON FIERCE STREET and I SPIT ON YOUR GRADES will be battling it out over the best slasher sequels of all-time. Finally, to lower the event's moral standards, Brad Hanson will be blowing the virtual roof off this festival with a barf-o-rama live presentation on the history of vomit in horror cinema. What is this fantastic event called? YOU SICK FUCKS. Don't forget your sick buckets.
All of this cements the Soho Horror Fest 2022 Programme with a record breaking 30 feature films, over 50 short films, and an array of exclusive live events not to be missed. Limited festival passes are selling fast and individual in-person film tickets are available now at www.sohohorrorfest.com/tickets; so don’t miss out on what is sure to be the greatest horror party of the year.
