One of the highlights of the festival this year. Really enjoyed it Simon was excellent, his band phenomenal and it was so much fun.
We're half way through Abertoir 2025 - Simon Boswell and band are on stage!
We've enjoyed films, talks, Q&As and much more - & there are 2 more days to go: premieres, a mystery screening that you'll go ape for, Bad Film Club, Victoria Price & Peter Fuller, more incredible films...let's keep going!

We wrapped the 20th Abertoir late on Sunday and can’t thank you enough for joining us – 5 days of horror, old and new, and all the delights in between!
As the dust settles & we return to our crypts to sleep, we want to reiterate our thanks to you all for joining us again, both old friends and new.

An amazing time at #Abertoir2025. It’s still going on. I wish I could have stayed, but the working week beckons. Thank you @abertoirfest.bsky.social organisers who worked so hard. The mystery screening (Primate!), Simon Boswell’s concert, hearing the crowd screams at the climax of Phenomena - bliss!

Watched Mārama last night at @abertoirfest.bsky.social Suitably impressive. A powerful anti-colonial tale of cultural appropriation, torn families, abuse beneath the veneer of civilisation, and righteous, roaring revenge. Highly recommended.

Eyes Without A Face (Les yeux sans visage) (1960) - Projected Figures
Franju's Eyes Without A Face occupies uncharted territories somewhere between gothic horror, fairytale lyricism and the charnel-house realism.
