Cinema for those who love it beyond the multiplex
World Film Geek is an independent film site for people who love cinema beyond the mainstream. We write about horror, action, comedy, international films, short films and festival winners.
We review films honestly, talk to the people who make them, and give indie filmmakers a place to be seen and read.

Read film featuresHow we review
Three simple rules behind every review and interview on World Film Geek.
Watch properly
Every film is watched in full, never skimmed, before a word is written.
Judge honestly
We praise what works and say plainly what does not, big budget or tiny.
Back indie voices
Coverage is never sold, so small filmmakers get the same fair reading.
Film festivals & awards
From premieres to prize nights, we track the festivals that give independent films their first audience. Latest: see who took home the top honours at the Vienna Independent Film Awards.
See the winnersA tribute to Philip Ko (1949–2017)
A look back at the Hong Kong action star and filmmaker, his famous screen presence, and the cult audience that kept his films alive.
