The Independent Horror Society has been dedicated to supporting grassroots horror cinema for over 10 years, and we're so proud to have nearly 2,500 committed horror fans and filmmakers in our ranks.

We have launched the Indie Film Showcase to do what we love best -- bringing incredible short genre films from hugely talented filmmakers, to the wonderful UK horror community.

So join us at the wonderful Genesis Cinema for another evening of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course -- over 2 solid hours of incredible short films.

Here's what's in store:

Blight
Matt is unravelling. In the aftermath of a fractured relationship, the reserved landscaper drifts through his days, numb, disoriented, and haunted by lapses in memory. Something is following him. Something that knows him intimately. Confined to a home he once shared, Matt is forced to confront a terrifying truth buried within his broken mind. The past is not finished with him. And some things will not stay buried.

Bloodbuzz
Lost in the Suffolk countryside, a paranoid teenager insists humanity is under siege by climate-mutated mosquitoes. As reality fractures, she must fight to be believed — or face the swarm alone. A claustrophobic blend of sci-fi and psychological horror.

Chimera
A bookish lab technician uses her access to a DNA database to find a date, but the ‘chance’ meet cute turns into something much more sinister.

For Sale
Lucy and David are a young couple trying to get a foot on the first slippery rung of the London housing ladder. Lucy is six-months pregnant, making the whole situation even more stressful. Visiting a potential flat one evening, they are disturbed by the unsettling behaviour of the Estate Agent. He seems determined not to let them leave. Soon they realise why. Someone...or something...else is already living there.

In The Shadows
As night falls, Alice and Clément run breathlessly. In the heart of an oppressive nature, something mysterious is stalking them. They have only two certainties: what is pursuing them is aggressive, and it sees in the dark...

Itch
Itch is a short folk horror story for the dating app generation. It follows Jules and her second date Thomas, an awkward man with an infectious charm...

OBEY!
After the tragic death of her viral dog, Max, a pet influencer is confronted by a vengeful spirit demanding an apology for a life of exploitation.

Pimple
A young boy's pimple bursts, leading to a bloody disaster.

Pleased to Kill You
When a charming but ruthless serial killer knocks on the door of another serial killer, he meets someone who not only understands his nature but also has something far more dangerous to offer.

Still There
A man is being followed. We don't know by who or by what, but it is following him. Every single day. He we will try to avoid, to fight, to forget - but no matter, she is still, there.

Tapestry
A desperate mother performs an occult ritual to resurrect her lost child.

The Fairy Moon
In a small English town, a man’s life unravels after a troubling roadside encounter with a sinister stranger.

The Man That I Wave At
A man has an existential crisis trying to work out who the mysterious man is that he waves at.

Undertone
A sound recordist captures strange sonic phenomena underneath their house and things... escalate from there.

Long live indie horror!
