Manchester’s Printworks Odeon will be hosting Grimm Up North’s annual Manchester festival of horror, cult, sci-fi and fantasy film, Grimmfest, from 1st to 4th of October
Now in its seventh year, Grimmfest 2015 is set to be the best yet, with a great line-up of dark, thrilling and chilling movies – all of which are UK, European or World premieres.

Highlights from the festival include, the North West premiere of nerve-racking rural shocker, The Hallow will be opening the festival with special guests, Director Corin Hardy (who secured directorial duties on the upcoming CROW reboot on the strength of this movie) and Joseph Mawle, who plays Adam Hitchens in the horror (Game of Thrones, Sense8, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter).

Meanwhile the Northern Showcase special effects maestro, Shaune Harrison (World War Z, Avengers: Age of Ultron), will present the world premiere of his directorial debut, The Box with the film’s star, Dominic Brunt.

Grimmfest  will be showcasing the European Premiere of Antisocial 2, a tale of social media gone rogue and sequel to one of the hits of Grimmfest 2013 while this year’s closing night film will be the world premiere of the visually stunning, conceptually challenging tale of a sub-atomic struggle of the subconscious: DXM. 

Director Andrew Goth (Gallowwalkers) brings his Sam Neil starring explosive, head spinning fusion of theology, quantum physics, science fiction and martial arts action that made DXM one of the must-see genre films at Cannes this year.

Steve Gleave, General Manager of The Printworks Odeon said: “We’re so excited to host Grimmfest Manchester and we’re looking forward to putting on an amazing event. This is the perfect film festival for fans of brand new and classic horror, cult, fantasy and sci-fi movies from the UK and around the world. It’s fantastic that we can host festivals such as this for film fans in Manchester.”
