Jacksonville Horror Film Festival

FL, United States · Années d'activité: First Year

This year marks our first cut. First Blood is a celebration of new beginnings, born from the carnage of film production. This year, we honor everything first-first films, first scares, first cuts. Whether you're a first-time filmmaker or just unleashing your first on-screen kill, this is your year. First screams. First victims. First Blood. MARCH 13-14 2026 here! MISSION The Jacksonville Horror Film Festival is a high-octane celebration of bold, blood-soaked cinema. We spotlight daring filmmakers who embrace the gritty, the grotesque, and the unforgettable-from grindhouse-inspired shock and sleaze, to character-driven terror. Our mission is to electrify audiences, cultivate a thriving horror scene in Jacksonville, and champion fearless storytelling that pushes boundaries and leaves a mark.
