Perth Horror Film Festival 2025: Imported Fear (18+)

We’ve scoured the globe to bring you some of the best horror shorts from outside of Western Australia. This film series is a decadent descent into horror’s many moods where desire meets dread, the absurd dances with the grotesque, and no craving goes unpunished. From seductive nightmares to unsettling truths, these shorts don’t just unsettle, they disturb, delight, and linger. Among them lies one haunting true crime documentary, blurring the line between fact and fear.
