*"Bad Haircut" takes home Best Film at the third edition of the Valladolid International Fantastic and Horror Film Festival, while the jury and critics remain deeply divided over the film’s quality.*
A recap of the festival’s second day, featuring *Horror and Love*, *Quantum Rave*, *Pinocchio Unstrung*, and *Frankie, Maniac Woman*—a night packed with terror, madness, and enough emotional whiplash to make a rollercoaster jealous.
The sixth day of the **Valladolid International Fantasy and Horror Film Festival (PUFA)** offered a mix of premieres and screenings, including *Lenore*, *The Waiting Man*, and *Janur Ireng*, exploring psychological horror, black magic, and artificial intelligence.
The fifth day of PUFA 2026 was defined by mind-bending films, existential labyrinths, and the wildest black comedy, featuring titles like *Yesterday Island*, *The Red Mask*, *IAI*, and *Buffet Libre*.
The fourth day of PUFA 2026 delivered an intense mix of horror, suspense, and mysticism with films like *Grand Ciel*, *El llanto del perro*, *Cruel Hands*, and *Samakdo*. Each brought a unique—if uniquely painful—experience for festivalgoers.
The third day of the **Valladolid Fantastic Gateway (PUFA 2026)** was less a film marathon and more a *social experiment*—a rollercoaster where the festival, like a hoarder Frankenstein, stitched together scraps of marginal genius, digital autopsies, and Freudian nightmares to serve up a four-course tasting menu that, as a whole, tasted like *cheap whiskey and expired Xanax*. From the **FUNDOS Auditorium**—a cinema temple reeking of spilled beer and screenwriters’ shattered dreams—to the **Broadway Cinemas**, where the Official Selection tried (and failed) to convince us that psychological horror is still a noble genre, July 6th was a masterclass in how contemporary cinema can be *simultaneously mesmerizing and nauseating*. And no, that’s not a compliment.
The kickoff of the third edition of **PUFA** (*Pucela Fantástica*) at **Broadway Cinemas** proved that horror isn’t just on the screen. From the initial chaos in the lobby to the revelations and ironies of the speeches, the opening day was a rollercoaster of emotions, bottled guts, and pure Spanish fantasy cinema history.
The second day of PUFA 2026, Valladolid’s genre film festival, brought together unsettling classics like *Who Can Kill a Child?* and exciting newcomers like *Went Up the Hill*—though "exciting" might be a stretch.
