As the days get shorter and the nights creep in, there’s no better time for a horror film festival—and Grindfest is back to deliver the chills. The sixth edition of the UK’s dedicated genre film festival kicks off this Friday, 13th September, at the Art-Deco Regent in Christchurch. Running through Sunday, 15th September, this year’s event promises a jam-packed three days of iconic films, rare screenings, and genre-defining classics, all shown on original 35mm prints. With tickets and passes still available, horror fans are encouraged to grab their seats before they’re gone!
The festival celebrates the nostalgic appeal of film on film, presenting some of the most beloved and obscure movies that have been dug out of archives across the globe. Highlights include the 1980s 3D adventure Treasure of the Four Crowns and the sci-fi cult classic The Last Starfighter, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Set in the 1908s, Hunters sees husband and wife writer/director team Lexie Findarle Trivundza and Nick Trivundza, who have also collaborated on The West and the Ruthless and Tales from the Black Manor, attempting to do what many have tried, but few have managed to accomplish… Recreate an 80s action epic on a budget that would make a Cannon Films release look epic.
It’s 1985 and Jonathan Danger has just parachuted onto an island off the coast of Africa, impaling himself on a large stick in the process. Once he removes it and realizes he’s in the middle of someone’s camp he goes looking not for medical supplies but something to light a cigarette with. Because nothing says tough guy like bleeding to death so you can have a smoke.
