Tony Todd Night
2025-10-28 19:00 - 23:00 (Europe/London) | Accidental Theatre, 12-13 Shaftesbury Square, Belfast, BT2 7DB, United Kingdom
The BIHF pays tribute to Horror legend Tony Todd who sadly passed away last November as they screen two of the actors’ iconic roles Candyman (1992) and Tom Savini’s Night of the Living Dead, which this year celebrates its 35th anniversary.

In Bernard Rose’s Candyman Todd plays the aforementioned murderous Soul with a hook for a hand. Accidently summoned to reality by a sceptic grad student who is researching the monster’s myth.

While in Savini’s remake of George A. Romero’s horror classic, Todd plays Ben, one of seven refugees who have to seek shelter within a Pennsylvanian house when the dead return to life.

There will be a short interval between each film, both screenings will be introduced by the member of the festival’s team.

Jennifer's Body
2025-10-29 19:00 - 22:00 | Movie House Cinemas City Side, 100-150 York Street, Belfast, Antrim, BT15 1WA, United Kingdom
BIHF screen’s Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body at Movie House Cinemas CitySide as part of the female rage strand within their festival’s programme.

When small-town high-school student Jennifer (Megan Fox) is possessed by a hungry demon, thanks to a run-in with a Satan-worshipping rock band, she soon develops a taste for teenage flesh and the only person who can stop her is her nerdy best friend Needy (Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried).

Terribly miss-marketed to teenage boys when it was released in 2009 Kusama’s feature, written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, has since been re-evaluated and is now championed by the LGBTQ + community for its representation of bisexuality onscreen within the horror genre.
