BUTFF x CULTfilm is the monthly underground and trash cinema night at WORM. Film scholar Dani van Duin curates films exclusively for WORM that you won't find on the big screen anywhere else.

The evening opens with the short film Pimple (original title: Borbulha), winner of Best Short at BUTFF 2026. This 4-minute Portuguese short by Fernando Alle follows a young boy whose pimple bursts - with bloody consequences.

The main feature is La Cosa en la Niebla (The Thing in the Fog), winner of Best Feature at BUTFF 2026. Chedey Reyes' horror-comedy takes place entirely in one location: Ismael and Daniela are trapped in an increasingly strange space, confronted with unexplainable signals, absurd decisions, and an alien threat - the Audreys - that could endanger all of humanity. With B-movie spirit and dark humour, the film builds an entirely unique cosmos from that single sealed cockpit.
