“Do you think I’m crazy?” This is a line of dialogue spoken by Mary Mason (Katharine Isabelle) at a pivotal and emotional moment towards the end of American Mary, the second film directed by Dead Hooker in a Trunk directors Jen and Sylvia Soska aka Twisted Twins. I bring this up because the crazy question [...]
Ross Noble starring as a killer clown in an Irish horror movie. It may sound like a highlight in one of his rambling randomly assembled stand up routines, but instead exists in the form of Stitches, the first film to occupy a late night slot at this year’s Frightfest. After one of the greatest film [...]
Frightfest has had its fair share of controversy in the past, most notably when A Serbian Film was pulled after Westminster Council ruled it couldn’t be shown in an uncut form. This year’s near-the-mark equivalent was predicted to be Patricio Valladares’ Hidden in the Woods, an exploitation film from Chile brimming with incest, gore and [...]
The name may not immediately ring any bells, but if you like a good British horror, you’ll have almost definitely sampled the work of Paul Hyett in the past. Having worked on special effects and make up for the likes of The Descent, Attack the Block and The Woman in Black, this year’s Frightfest opened [...]
The line-up for this year’s Film4 Frightfest festival has been announced and it looks set to be another screamer of a year. This year’s lineup features something for gore-hounds, giallo geeks and fans of the classics with titles ranging from the rarely seen complete ‘Cabel Cut’ of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed to Dead Sushi – a [...]
Debut feature director Eli Craig’s take on the comedy-horror genre is a glorious homage to all the townie-meets-country shlock horrors over the years, like an hilarious study of all the gory clichés turned on their heads. It still racks up the body count for genre fans and demonises the local White trash population, but cleverly [...]
Directed by Axelle Carolyn, The Last Post is an emotional ghost story confidently told across eleven minutes. Opening with shots of an elderly lady, Colette (Jean Marsh), struggling to move about her sparse nursing home room, the film then rarely leaves this one room, the contained story unfolding slowly around this central character. A wise choice perhaps as it [...]
FrightFest is probably my favourite film festival and it’s definitely five days in August that I now look forward to every year. This is in part down to the excellent organisation, the incredible atmosphere and the fellow film fans you get to spend the August Bank Holiday with but mostly it’s because the festival affords you [...]
Joseph Kahn’s debut feature Torque was an odd film that led to some pretty fascinating defences, in particular from online critics who believed that the film had been crucially misunderstood. Whilst the film may be misunderstood in some ways it is far from being a film worthy of high praise and the extent to which Kahn manages [...]
Martin (Andy Nyman) is a meek and somewhat feeble man who loses his well paid job and instead of telling his wife decides to continue ‘going to work’. Every day he gets dressed, has breakfast, takes a pack lunch from his wife Julie (Neve Campbell), kisses her on the cheek and sets off. He has [...]
***SPOILER WARNING – This post contains spoilers for Final Destination 5, including a discussion of the end of the film. For a spoiler free review of the film, head over here*** At the heart of the Final Destination film series is a pretty dopey high concept, that death doesn’t like to be “cheated”. They rest on a set up [...]
One of the highlights of this year’s FrightFest was an on stage interview with Larry Fessenden and the horror panel that followed it. Larry Fessenden is a filmmaker who is perhaps unknown to a lot of film fans but for many years he has been making unique and very intriguing films in the horror genre, [...]
The so-called found footage sub-genre seems to have been a reasonably reliable money spinner in recent years and whilst films using this technique often receive a critical kicking and proclamations regarding its death seem more and more common with each passing film, the approach is showing no signs of going way. With the exception of [...]
As the extended horrorshow continues at Film4 FrightFest in London’s Leicester Square news has emerged which may point the way for one of the genre’s most exalted figures. Our man Craig Skinner is at the festival and reports that in the Q&A session following the debut of his eagerly awaited new film The Innkeepers West [...]
We’ve just been sent the first images and synopsis from Axelle Carolyn’s directorial debut, The Last Post which has also announced to be playing at the Film4 London Frightfest later in the year. The movie, which was shot in London over the course of one day, is produced by Neil Marshall (Centurion, Dog Soldiers, The [...]
More hilarity from Comic-Con as Joe Lynch’s Knights of Badassdom brings its LARPing fun to San Diego and here’s what the gathering army of fans have been waiting for as the first trailer for the film has been unveiled. Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn and Summer Glau lead the field in this tale of [...]
Horror fans have had their eyes on this one for a good while now and those in the UK will be able to see this anthology horror, created with love by some of the best new wave of directors, when it plays at FrightFest this August. In the vein of Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors [...]
Yet more images from the gift that keeps on giving as Entertainment Weekly publish one of the few pictures we’ve seen for Joe Lynch’s Knights of Badassdom and here we get our chance to see Firefly favourite Summer Glau stand up with True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten, and there’s also a bonus image of Peter Dinklage. [...]
The line-up for 2011′s annual FrightFest in London’s Leicester Square has just been announced and it’s another amazing year. Opening with the Guillermo Del Toro-produced Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark and closing up with Julian Gilbey’s A Lonely Place to Die there are plenty of thrillers, shockers and gore-fuelled splattefests, with premieres of some [...]
Slowly but surely the Badsassdom bandwagon is hitting its stride with the second official image from the film released today. Spitting the pics as their Facebook ‘army’ lunges past numerical milestones, the Knights who say ‘Larp’ gifted us this delightful image of Peter Dinklage about to lay waste to Ryan Kwanten’s larynx. In the background [...]
