A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night will play at the BFI London Film Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The BFI London Film Festival announced its line-up today, and it’s looking pretty great for genre fans.<\/p>\n

Iranian vampire movie A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night<\/em><\/strong>, set in “the deadbeat Iranian ghost town of Bad City, a lone female vampire stalks the streets at night searching for prey,” will compete in the main competition strand.<\/p>\n

We’ll also get to see the premiere of Monsters: The Dark Continent<\/em><\/strong>; the follow-up to Gareth Edwards’ superb art-house sci-fi.<\/p>\n

Last year’s Cult strand was fantastic, boasting films like All Cheerleaders Die<\/em><\/strong>, The Sacramen<\/em><\/strong>t, Rigor Mortis<\/em><\/strong>, The Strange Colour Of Your Body’s Tears<\/em><\/strong> and more. This year’s promises to deliver just as many odd, wonderful delights.<\/p>\n

There’s Jonas Govaerts’\u00a0boy-scout horror Cub<\/em><\/strong>, the much-buzzed Maika Monroe-starrer\u00a0It Follows,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>and the eagerly anticipated genre-bender Spring<\/em><\/strong>, from Resolution’s Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead starring Lou Taylor Pucci.<\/p>\n

There’s the The Town That Dreaded Sundown<\/em><\/strong> remake from\u00a0Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, the\u00a0Alex de la Iglesia-produced (and absolutely insane-looking) Shrew’s Nest<\/strong><\/em>, and Danish puberty horror When Animals Dream<\/em><\/strong>, which is described as blending “Nordic noir and grisly coming-of-age fantasy.” (Can we have our tickets now, please?)<\/p>\n

Latvian austerity horror The Man In The Orange Jacket<\/em><\/strong> looks like an arresting thriller, Donkey Punch<\/em><\/strong>‘s Oliver Blackburn returns to horror with slasher movie Kristy<\/em><\/strong>, exploring a cave goes horribly wrong in found-footage horror\u00a0In Darkness We Fall<\/em><\/strong>, and the long-awaited Jamie Marks Is Dead<\/em><\/strong>, starring Liv Tyler and Judy Greer, finally makes its debut.\u00a0We’re also very excited for epic Chinese fantasy\u00a0The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We’ll get to see Mark Hartley’s doc\u00a0Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films<\/em><\/strong>, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em><\/strong> has been restored to terrify audiences once again.<\/p>\n

The London Film Festival’s programme obviously offers far more than genre movies, but this is a really exciting selection of films that we can’t wait to see. For more information and to start planning your schedule, visit the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
