Tubi FrightFest, the U.K.’s biggest horror and fantasy film festival, has unveiled the lineup for its 27th edition, with a presentation of movies it says is the biggest in its history.

82 features will screen during the five-day event — taking place in the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square and Odeon Luxe West End in London from Aug 27-31 — including 24 world premieres and spanning 16 countries across four continents.

Opening Tubi FrightFest’s bloodied curtains is the world premiere of “Nervous,” Abner Pastoll’s subversive, cross-cultural tale of psychological alienation and dangerous obsession, shot entirely in South Korea. The film reunites Pastoll with his “A Good Woman Is Hard To Find” star Sarah Bolger, who plays a woman losing her ability to hear men’s voices.

Also from Korea comes the Cannes-bowing “Colony,” the hotly-anticipated zombie shocker from Yeon Sang-ho, whose cult hit “Train to Busan” — and its animated prequel “Seoul Station” — will also screen to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Also in the Asian lineup is Indonesian genre filmmaker Joko Anwar’s horror-comedy and 2026 Berlinale favourite “Ghost in the Cell,” plus “Salmokji: Whispering Water,” which recently became the highest-grossing Korean horror film of all time, and remastered editions of cut Japanese titles “Crazy Lips” and “Gore from Outer Space.”

The Tubi FrightFest closing night film is the U.K. premiere Gen Z shocker “Species.” French writer-director Marion Le Corroller’s darkly comic debut feature is a sci-fi body-horror with a deeper allegorical message about workplace burn-out, and features body-mutation sequences created by Pierre-Olivier Persin, who won both and Oscar and a BAFTA for his work on “The Substance.”

Other festival highlights include the world premiere of Christopher Smith’s eight-legged satirical horror “Spider Island,” Padriag Reynolds homage to 1970s creature exploitation “Gator Face,” and James Nunn’s survival thriller “Hungry,” in which Louisiana tourists are stalked by a ravenous hippopotamus.

Meanwhile, Hammer returns with “Ithaqua,” a period survival horror from Casey Walker, who, with “Home Bodies” also at the festival, becomes the first director to have two films screening in the same FrightFest edition.

Other buzzy films in the lineup include the anthology “The Pitchfork Retreat,” from the producers of the “Terrifier” franchise, featuring the last screen appearance of “Candyman” star Tony Todd and the twisted horror comedy “Drag,” co-produced by Danny DeVito and starring his his daughter Lucy DeVito. Brea Grant, Chelsea Stardust and Ed Dougherty bring “Grind,” a horror satire anthology about the modern gig economy, and actress Lulu Wilson is back as a lethal anti-hero in Jenn Wexler’s “The Last Temptation of Becky,” which FrightFest describes as “the biggest, bloodiest and most unhinged instalment yet” of the franchise.

Alongside royalty, there’s space for pop icons in the lineup too, with “Faces of Death,” meta slasher retooling of the 1978 cult classic, starring Charli Xcx, selected.

“Tubi FrightFest knows what creates resonance with its audience: that there has to be space for depth of exciting storytelling and that what is important in the ultimate scheme of festival priorities is to interact, scream, laugh and debate in a safe space, with a like-minded community,” said festival co-director Alan Jones.
