The Horror-On-Sea film festival will run for six days in January 2027 - from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th, and then from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th. As usual it's a packed programme and there are some highlights I'm hoping to catch.
Pandamonium (2020) introduced the charactor of Jakob Jakushi (David Hon Ma Chu) a panda-masked serial killer who gatecrashes a tech-bro after-work party and terrorizes the bros and their stripper guests, in a low-budget, riotous mix of comedy slasher horror and martial arts movie - think Kill Bill meets Scream but with more pandas.
This year, Mycho Films are, I am reliably informed, at this very moment putting the final touches to the sequel, Pandamonium Incorporated, in time for a World Premiere screening at Horror-On-Sea on Saturday 16th Jan at 5.30. Jakushi is now working as an assassin for a corporation of serial killers, Killer Inc. which has to defend itself when another mysterious organization attacks its head office. Here's the trailer:
And the poster:
As well as being the sequel to Pandamonium, this film is part of an extended Mycho cinematic universe, with both pandasploitation films acting as prequels to the Slasher House movies. All the Mycho movies and shorts I've seen so far have been unhinged fun so I'm really looking forward to this one. Despite the stabbing (of which there is usually a fair amount) Mycho films are surprisingly tasteful - last year's premiere at Horror-On-Sea, Cleavers 3: Maximum Cleavage, was introduced by the producers as "the most misleadingly titled film ever."
My own horror short, In Nature, will be screened on Sunday 24th January at 10am. It's a stop-motion movie in the vegetable horror genre, made with LEGO and without any use of AI. As a long time fan of Horror-On-Sea it's great to be bringing something, however small, to the party.
