Australia’s longest-running showcase of horror and dark genre cinema, A Night of Horror International Film Festival (ANOH), returns for its 15th year with a frighteningly fantastic program.

Across four days, ANOH will showcase the very best in freaky, macabre and spine-chilling films from Australia and around the world.

All screenings will take place at Dendy Cinema Newtown and tickets are now on sale.

2023 program highlights include:

The world premiere of The Devil’s Work, the third instalment in Ursula Dabrowsky’s award-winning Demon Trilogy (Family Demons, Inner Demon). All three films stand alone, yet share similar themes of survival, revenge, and the loss of innocence.

Sydneysider Jack Dignan follows his 2022 ANOH award-winning debut feature After She Died with Puzzle Box, a riveting and deeply unsettling found footage purgatory tackling addition and inner demons.

Marie Alice Wolfszahn’s Austrian Mother Superior, winner of Best Film & Best Director at Brooklyn Horror Film Festival 2022, a unique delve into witchcraft and folk horror.

Sarah Tice makes her feature film debut with DID I?, a whip-smart, giallo-inspired study of alter personalities and the effects of trauma on the mind, body, and soul.

Gareth Carr & David Sullivan’s Saving Grace, winner of Best Horror Feature at Washington DC International Cinema Festival 2023 and Liverpool Indie Awards 2023, a psychological thriller featuring a fierce, compelling performance from rising Aussie star Kirsty Mckenzie.

Nicholas Tomnay’s spellbinding neo-noir thriller What You Wish For, a morality tale roasting greed, told with crisp efficiency, laced with the sharp smack of horror.

Jonas Trukanas’s Pensive, a slasher flick screened in Lithuanian language with English subtitles that tackles social responsibility and identity roles in a very contemporary vein.

Australian Shorts Gala featuring nine of the very best fright fare from Australia.

International Shorts Showcase featuring a selection of the creepiest, freakiest new short films from around the world.

“The calibre, ingenuity, and range of submissions this year truly surpassed all expectations. We were astounded by the exceptional talent and diversity on display, making the selection process a both challenging and exhilarating journey,” said Festival Director, Bryn Tilly.

“This year’s final line-up has films from all shades of the horror spectrum, and, as one would expect post-pandemic, many of them deal with grief and trauma, each promising to send shivers down your spine, immersing you in delightfully bizarre worlds and blood-curdling nightmares.”
