Horror Films Hitting Cinemas This October 2017

Somehow, we’re already in October, but what’s scarier than that thought is that both Halloween and Friday 13th are coming up soon!

Horror fans might be pleased to know that to welcome these spooky occasions, local cinemas are soon to be swamped with horror films.

So, to help you plan this month’s cinema trips and scary movie nights, here’s a list of some of the horror films coming to cinemas this October.

The Snowman

Release Date: Friday 13th October
Rating: 15
Directed by: Tomas Alfredson
Written by: Hossein Amini, Peter Straughan
Starring: Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson Chloe Sevigny

Based on the bestselling book, this film follows an investigation into a missing woman, but there are some unexpected twists and turns along the way. What starts as a detective film, quickly spirals into a horrifying film about an unusual serial killer.

The Ritual

Release Date: Friday 13th October 2017
Rating: 15
Directed by: David Bruckner 
Written by: Joe Barton
Starring: Arsher Ali, Rafe Spall, Robert James-Collier

This film has the tagline ‘they should have gone to Vegas’ so you can bet that this isn’t going to be a happy-go-lucky film.

Follow four friends into the forest land of rural Sweden, where they find a creepy hut. This is where the story really starts, as they start to suspect they’re being followed. The biggest question of this film though: who, or what, is following them?

Happy Death Day

Release Date: Friday 20th October

Directed by: Christopher Landon
Written by: Scott Lobdell
Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine

Is there anything more horrifying than being frozen in time, made to live the same day over and over again? Now imagine that the day you have to relive is the day of your death. That’s the idea behind this film, and it’s sure to give you the chills.
