Mórbido Film Fest returns for its 19th edition from October 28 to November 8, 2026, across Mexico City and Morelos with 40 feature films from 20 countries and 81 shorts. The festival’s official poster depicts Mictlantecuhtli, the Aztec god of death, reflecting the event’s alignment with Day of the Dead. The opening film is Adrián García Bogliano’s Hablando con extraños, while Mario Dávila’s Grandes Hits closes the festival. Notable selections include Ken Russell’s restored The Devils, Takashi Miike’s Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, and 11 Mexican titles. The lineup features four Sitges winners and documentaries including Zé do Caixão and Guía Paranormal de la Costa Brava. Special events include a 25th-anniversary screening of Das Experiment and Silent Monsters, a program featuring new scores for silent horror shorts composed by young musicians. The festival expands to Morelos venues and includes programming for younger audiences.
