Korean fi lm festival

Thanks to Netfl ix’s global

ubiquity, Bong Joon-ho’s

Okja – starring a giant

superpig creature plus

Tilda Swinton – recently

became the most widely

seen Korean fi lm ever

made. But there’s a trove

of similarly spectacular

creations on show at

this event, which starts

in London then tours

the country. Highlights

include a Korean noir

showcase, a celebration

of female voices and

Cannes hit The Merciless

(pictured), as well

as documentaries,

animation and more.

Various venues, 26 Oct

to 19 Nov

This mini fi lm season

is engulfed by horror,

including an evening

dedicated to Hitchcock’s

Psycho, with a screening

of its shower scene-

dedicated documentary

78/52. Elsewhere, there

are previews, shorts and

guests, all summoned in

the spirit of dread.

HOME, Manchester, 26 to

31 Oct

Horror in the Caves

Set in the labyrinth

of man-made caves

beneath Bristol, this

strand of the city’s fi lm

festival is hosting 13 (of

course) screenings of

classic and contemporary

horror movies. If

Paranormal Activity and

An American Werewolf

in London weren’t

frightening enough,

the festival claims

that there have been

reports of “paranormal

activity” within the site’s

gloomy network of

passages. Scary or smart

marketing trick? Find out

for yourself.
