"DELETER," a spine-tingling production starring Nadine Lustre, won the coveted category of "Best Scare" at Grimmfest, one of the UK's premier genre film festivals.

The "Best Scare" category at Grimmfest has always been a subject of intense debate among jurors, as they assess what defines a "scare" in the realm of horror films. It's a category where the distinction between traditional "jump scares" and the more nebulous aspects of terror come into question.

In the case of "DELETER," the jury's decision was resolute and unanimous.

According to the organizers, rather than any singular heart-pounding moment, it was the film's ability to create an enduring, eerie, and profoundly unsettling atmosphere that left an indelible mark on the judges' minds.

Grimmfest, known for celebrating the most innovative and haunting works in the genre, recognized "DELETER" as an exceptional entry in this year's lineup.

The film's capacity to evoke fear through a pervasive sense of dread and the unknown underscores the power of subtlety and atmospheric tension in the horror genre.
