Join us for an evening of incredible short indie horror films in Bournemouth!
About this Event

The Independent Horror Society has been dedicated to supporting grassroots horror cinema for over 10 years, and we're so proud to have 2,100+ committed horror fans and filmmakers in our ranks.

We have launched the Indie Film Showcase to do what we love best -- bringing incredible short genre films from hugely talented filmmakers, to the wonderful UK horror community. And in June we hosted a brand-new line up of short films in London, showcasing a superb range of projects from all over the globe.

But with so much passion and hard work having gone into each and every film on the line up, we want as many folk as possible to see them. Which is why we're delighted to be able to take them out on the road -- and our next stop will be glorious Bournemouth, where we'll be partnering with our good friends at Screams By The Sea International Film Festival!

So join us at Patch for a night of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course -- over 2 solid hours of incredible short horror films.

Doors open at 6pm, with films starting at 6:15pm. There will also be a short break between blocks.

(Please note: standard IHS Members can get tickets for £11, and IHS Pro members get them for just £6. Please see our member hubs for the codes!)

Here's a quick preview of what's in store:



Alexa, Stop.

UK, Dir: Sam Dixon

An errant Alexa causes problems for a girl alone at night.



Babushka

UK, Dir: Jon James Smith

Annie Parker-Reed is desperate to protect her young daughter from the evil she inherited, but when they find an old Babushka doll in the attic, the past finds them both.



Bath Bomb

USA, Dir: Colin G. Cooper

A possessive doctor prepares an ostensibly romantic bath for his narcissistic boyfriend, but after an accusation of infidelity, things take a deeply disturbing turn.



I See You’re Alone

UK, Dir: Danielle Spontak

A music producer receives a creepy song from her boss and listens to it alone in her home. The more she listens to it, the scarier it gets. Eyeballs start to materialize around her and before she realizes what’s going on – it’s too late. The music producer dies and her eyes have been taken...



Make Me A Pizza

USA, Dir: Talia Shea Levin

A very hungry woman tells a pizza delivery guy she can’t pay for the pizza she ordered. But can the sex she offers instead of currency possibly equate to the true value of a pizza? Is there anything that can be worthy of pizza, aside from what the market has decided?



Moonlight Haunts

UK, Dir: Kayal Karuppiah

Hallow sleeps, but not alone. Sometimes it’s better to ignore sounds in the night.



Nettle Day

UK, Dir: Jack Nicholls

An idealistic young teacher’s faith in kindness is ripped apart as she struggles to save a destructive child from being kicked out of school.



Square Peg

UK, Dir: Molly Comerford

Edwin, a lonely, narcissistic vampire, returns home after a restock to lament about life and his yearning to be normal to his best friend Morris – a decapitated head that loathes his guts.



The Birdwatcher

UK, Dir: Ryan Mackfall

Investigators approach a bird watching hut deep in the forest following the disappearance of a grieving man. As they piece together his final moments, the evidence they gather becomes increasingly unnerving and hard to explain.



The Eyes of Marge

UK, Dir: Lily Howkins

A self-hating social worker traumatised by his sister’s death from domestic abuse, is plagued by phone calls from an unknown woman looking for her dead sister.



The Feed

UK, Dir: Graham Robertson

A man is dragged deep into a black forest, where the sound of a fiddle stirs something in the darkness.



The Tunnel

UK, Dir: Brendan Cleaves

Four friends on a boat trip face a nightmarish battle for survival in a cursed tunnel.



Wild Animal

UK, Dir: Beth Park

A successful woman finds an abandoned baby and is stalked by the mother.
