It’s back. LIAF’s annual walk on the wild side featuring the most twisted films to emerge this year. You know you want it, we know you want it – so here it is! We’ve dug deep to find the best and this is what you find when you go down that far. The ever-popular Late Night Bizarre programme is a bunch of anti-classics guaranteed to be as far away from Disney as it’s possible to get. A dirty fistful of 16 of the weirdest, wildest, most demented films hand-picked from the 2,400 entered.
From the pungent underbelly of the body-animate comes this year’s torrent of eye-busting, brain-boiling gems that we’ve dragged in from the dark to populate Late Night Bizarre 2025, LIAF’s annual cult screening of hyper-alternative crazed nuggets that will weave their magic just the once for us before retreating to whence they emerged.
Expect a dependably depraved screening of animated specimens from the wrong side of the tracks including maniacal musical bunnies, scary ducks, obese dogs, five very naughty girls, Barry the slug, sex, violence and many other barely imaginable scenarios.
This is the second of two programmes at The Horse Hospital tonight – our Music Video Session screens beforehand at 7pm. You can buy tickets for both programmes at a special reduced price.
