About the festival
Thrills and Chills is an international bi-monthly online competition which specializes in genre films from all horizons – horror, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy… – and honors the originality and variety of those flicks.
Initiated by a group of movie buffs and filmmakers, its ambition is to shed light on unconventional projects that share the same enthusiasm and passion for those popular genres loved by the audience.
Once a month, our jury deliberates and determines an official selection and awards the best works and performances in all categories.
All winners and honorable mentions receive the Thrills and Chills laurel and a individual ready-to-print certificate.
