That’s a wrap on the 2026 Cinematic Horror Film Festival. I would like to thank everyone who helped in bringing this festival to life and to all of those that submitted their works. Tough choices had to be made as with anything, but I am so proud of what we managed to put on.

Please find below our winners of this years festival. Now, onto next year’s event and I cannot wait to see what’s install. Thank you again to everyone and enjoy.
