Welcome to the annual Bloody Flicks Awards!
We're looking for the best and brightest in independent horror and cult cinema to submit your films.

We value creativity most of all, so scare, gross us out and shock us!

We have 7 awards on offer, the only rule we have is that your film submission needs to be 45 minutes or under.

    Bloody Flicks was an absolute pleasure to be a part of. The Communication was brilliant, and Paul really made me feel a part of BFA Family, including being asked to chat with him on the Bloody Flicks Podcast. I was unable to attend unfortunately, but was able to keep up with what was happening via Social Media. Would definitely recommend!

    Amazing communication and support from the fabulous organiser Paul. This is a cracking event and one that I shall do my upmost to submit to whenever possible! We were absolutely blown away when our film 'Dead Air' walked away with two awards!

    This is one for your calendar without a doubt!

    Outstanding festival with a host that really knows the indie horror scene. The festival has a strong social media presence and I will definitely be submitting my future work. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic festival, very well organised and great communication. Very honoured for our film The Widower to pick up the Best Film Award and Best Actor for Neil Gallagher. Would definitely recommend.
