The Los Angeles Crime & Horror Film Festival (LACHFF) is an electrifying event dedicated to honoring the ingenuity and bold storytelling of crime and horror filmmakers, offering a platform for fresh, fearless voices in Hollywood’s backyard.
Crime and horror have long been the backbone of some of the most gripping and enduring narratives in film and television. These genres tap into our deepest fears and fascinations, pushing creative boundaries with suspenseful tales, psychological thrills, and unflinching portrayals of the human experience.
Now in its 14th year, the festival’s mission remains clear: to amplify the work of independent filmmakers who are redefining the crime and horror genres. By showcasing visionary storytellers, it aims to celebrate and support the artists who will shape the future of these compelling cinematic traditions.
We are honored to announce that, at this year's festivities, Blake Ridder’s latest feature film, Manor of Darkness, was not only awarded “Best Picture," but also received a “Best Visual Effects” award for Antonio Cerri’s captivating VFX work.
The story follows a group of criminals posing as filmmakers who venture to an English countryside estate in search of hidden diamonds, only to encounter true evil and chaos. The film blends psychological horror with elements of crime and suspense, making for an unsettling and intense experience. If you're a fan of eerie, mind-bending horror, this is one you won’t want to miss – unless you’re an evil spirit or diamond thief …..
Our deepest thanks to everyone at LACHFF, and congratulations to the cast and crew for this well-deserved recognition.
Onward!
