Our Programmer Thomas about FlopFest

The return of FlopFest!

"This month, Filmhuis The Hague once again invites you to embrace the chaos, the absurdity, and the accidental brilliance of B-movies, cult classics, and campy gems with the second edition of Flop Fest.

This mini retrospective dives into the wonderfully strange world of films that push the boundaries of taste, logic, and sometimes even the basics of filmmaking. But Flop Fest isn’t just about “so-bad-it’s-good” movies — it also celebrates obscure slashers, low-budget body horror, and cinematic oddities made by filmmakers who dare to swim against the current.

Flop Fest is a tribute to unpolished gems that have gained cult status not in spite of their flaws, but because of them. Think: over-the-top action sequences, cringeworthy dialogue, nonsensical editing, and worlds where anything can happen — and often does.

Some of these titles were dismissed by critics, but they’ve earned loyal followings thanks to their unintentional humor, outrageous plot twists, and sheer creative audacity.

But we’re not here just to laugh at them. For us, Flop Fest is about appreciation — these films are raw, imaginative time capsules of fearless filmmaking. Whether made out of passion, desperation, or delusion, they’re reminders that cinema is at its best when it dares to be different.

So if you’re ready for the ultimate in guilty pleasures and cult discoveries, join us at Filmhuis The Hague for Flop Fest. Come laugh, cringe, and celebrate the fantastically flawed films that prove being bad can be absolutely brilliant."
