Buried Alive Horror Film Festival

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic we are postponing this year’s festival till November 2021. We are keeping our submissions open at regular submission rates till May 31st 2021. Please continue to share your inventive and horrifying films with us through these crazy times. Come out and see some of the best independent films in the world! Every year in November the Buried Alive Film Fest exposes the citizens of Atlanta, Georgia to some of the most disturbing, visually appealing, and scary independent horror films in the world. We receive hundreds of submissions from all over the planet. Then narrow it down to the finest selection of horror gems. The modern age of digital film-making has flooded the market with tons of films, one seemingly indistinguishable from the next. The depth and breadth of horror fandom, combined with the rapid growth of independent film-making, have led to an explosion in indie films dealing with the terrifying, macabre, gory, and bizarre. The Buried Alive Film Fest of Atlanta is your chance to prove your film’s worth. No matter if it’s feature-length or short-form, a slasher or a ghost story, a zombie flick or a horror comedy, a suspenseful thriller or a horror documentary, all films in this exciting and growing genre are welcome. Our staff and judges come from across the local horror community, and with their discerning eyes can truly decide what should remain buried and what should be unearthed.
