Birmingham horror festival scares up international movie showcase

A macabre menu of dark delights from around the world will be served up on Sunday 25th March, when the Birmingham Horror Group hosts its second annual ‘Mini-Movie Marathon’.

The event, in aid of the charity Diabetes UK, is being held at the Victoria pub on John Bright Street and has already attracted spinechilling submissions from film-makers as far afield as India, Brazil, Australia and the Russian Federation — plus a “fear few” from the West Midlands.

“The horror genre embraces everything from psychological thrillers and bizarre monsters to supernatural terror and twisted comedy,” said festival organiser Steve Green, “and we plan to reflect that full range in those films we’ll be screening.”

The event launches at 6pm and tickets are £3.00, bookable online via Eventbrite (https://tinyurl.com/ycqzhuxx). Further details of the event are available via the group’s website (http://www.birmingham-horror.co.uk/).
