Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead is back for LIFF 2024 on 9 November with four acclaimed new horror films from Belgium, Nigeria, Taiwan and USA. Passes for the whole day are available.

In the opening film Else (UK Premiere) at 1.30pm, a couple’s very new relationship is catapulted to the next level when a strange new disease begins to spread that gradually merges living beings into whatever object they come into contact with. Following at 3.45pm is The Weekend, a smart, suspenseful horror-thriller, rooted in family values and culture but with a deliciously dark twist.

After an hour’s break for stocking up on supplies, Day of the Dead continues at 6.45pm with Dead Talents Society, a hilarious dark comedy about a contest for ghosts in the underworld where they must compete to avoid eternal damnation. The closing film at 9pm is Dead Mail, a surreal horror thriller that blends retro analogue aesthetics with a twisted tale of obsession, murder, and electronic keyboards.

Don't miss our other marathons at LIFF 2024, Sci-Fi Day on 2 November and Night of the Dead on 15 November.
