Don’t miss our Best Picture winner from last year’s fest! Absolutely brutal and filled with phenomenal performances 🐑
Barry Keoghan (SALTBURN) and Christopher Abbott (POSSESSOR) star in BRING THEM DOWN. A gripping thriller about two warring families in rural west Ireland. Winner of Best Picture at the 2024 Fantastic Fest, it’s not to be missed! Tickets on sale here: bit.ly/4hamnhA.

No idea why every horror fan wasn't talking about MadS last year. A single-take French freakout that feels like 28 Days Later for a new era. The back half, in particular, cements it as one of 2024's best. Laurie Pavy will make you believe she's turning into a monster. On Shudder!
