The acclaimed Swedish horror-thriller From Darkness is all set to chill audiences in the UK with its Northern premiere at Grimmfest on 5th October. This gripping feature, produced by Pentagram Film and Eyra Media, has already caused quite a stir in Sweden, becoming a box-office standout and one of the country’s top picks for streaming rentals. Now, the film makes its way to Manchester’s Grimmfest, promising festival-goers an eerie dive into Nordic terror.

From Darkness follows Angelica, a park ranger, as she teams up with her ex-boyfriend, Viktor, to search for a missing woman lost within the dangerous confines of a Swedish nature reserve. Angelica and Viktor’s partnership is complicated not just by their personal history but also by the chilling folklore attached to the reserve: tales of a Cave Wraith—a malevolent spirit believed to haunt the area’s caves, once luring miners to their doom.

Grimmfest, one of the UK’s premier genre film festivals, returns this October with an exciting and star-studded lineup of guests. Filmmakers and actors from around the globe are set to descend on Manchester to present their films, engage with fans, and take part in exclusive Q&a sessions, making this year’s edition the most interactive and talent-packed event yet.

Running from 3rd to 6th October at the Odeon Great Northern, Grimmfest offers a chance to see world premieres, UK debuts, and international hits before they hit wider release. Attendees will not only get to watch these films but also meet the creators and stars behind them in an intimate, fan-focused setting.

Grimmfest prides itself on not having a “Them and Us” atmosphere at their events. Instead, filmmakers and performers are encouraged to mingle, socialise, often sharing a drink at the bar with audience members. Here are just a...
