WHERE SCIFI, FANTASY & HORROR MEET
Welcome to the Razor Reel Flanders Film Fest – the premier genre film festival in Flanders, where fantasy, horror, thriller, and science fiction take center stage.
Each year, we transform the heart of Bruges into a gathering place for filmmakers, enthusiasts, and dreamers who love stories that go beyond the conventional.
Since our founding in 2008, we have grown into a leading platform for fantastic cinema, with a keen eye for talent, originality, and boundary-pushing creativity.
Razor Reel is more than a film festival – it's an experience where you can expect the unexpected.

Cute pet turns into a bloodthirsty monster!
After returning to Hawaii for her summer vacation, Lucy is reunited with her father Adam, her sister Erin, and their pet chimpanzee Ben. When Lucy’s father is called away for work, Lucy and her friends decide to throw a pool party. But unbeknownst to them, Ben has been bitten by a rabid animal, and the friendly chimpanzee has transformed into a bloodthirsty ape.
The swimming pool becomes their last refuge — apes apparently can’t swim — but how will they ever manage to call for help from there?

Kaleb makes a living doing odd jobs. He's in a feud with his sister over an inheritance and no longer speaks to his best friend.
Fascinated by exotic animals, he manages to find a venomous spider, which he brings back to his apartment.
But the spider escapes—and begins to reproduce. Meanwhile, the police put the building on lockdown, leaving Kaleb and his friends trapped inside with his former pet.

BELGICA OBSCURA
BUDASCOOP
20/06–20:15
Belgium may not be the biggest film country—especially when it comes to genre films—but that doesn't mean there's a lack of strong offerings.
In fact, we're seeing more and more filmmakers who aren’t just flirting with genre cinema, but fully embracing it. The big titles you know might still be countable on one hand, but don’t be fooled—there’s a whole wave of talented filmmakers ready to follow in their footsteps with beautifully crafted (short) films.
Belgica Obscura is the brainchild of curator Wesley Remory, who, together with our regular selection team, presents a Belgian short film program.
This time, we’re bringing this unique selection to Budascoop in Kortrijk.
