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.

Remember the legendary John Carpenter made his mark with a student film, so if you are a student/amateur filmmaker and have something original to showcase - this is the festival for you!
We value creativity most of all, so scare, gross us out and shock us!

We have 5 awards on offer, the only rule we have is that your film submission needs to be 30 minutes or under.

Here are the winners for the 2024 festival - https://bloody-flicks.co.uk/2024/03/05/winners-of-the-bloody-flicks-awards-2024-announced/

    Lovely festival - small but well formed with an excellent lineup of films and a great atmosphere in which to enjoy them. There are not that many horror festivals in the UK compared to the US and Bloody Flicks ought to become a firm fixture on the calendar!
