 FrightFest 2015
Hi everyone, It's the August Bank Holiday which means one things to UK Horror fans - FrightFest! Over 5 days (Thursday - Monday), London's Leicester Square is showing a whole bunch of horror films. I think this year may be the biggest yet - spread over a couple of cinemas with a great mix of movies (old classics and upcoming stuff). So, here's a thread dedicated to the discussion of FrightFest 2015. Are you going? Which films are you watching? Share your FF thoughts below...

It's my sixth year at the London Frightfest and must say that it has been the hardest year to pick what to watch due to conflicting screenings. So far this year my favorite movies have been the 80's throwback Turbo Kid, the Argentinian movie The Rotten Link, Vampire comedy Bloodsucking Bastards and We Are Still Here. There were a few other worthwhile watches including the French remake of Rabid Dogs, Dominic Brunts Bait, Shut In, Worry Dolls, Never Let Go and Deathgasm. Tomorrows highlights for me are watching Sergio Martino's Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key on the big screen and Barbara Crampton Reanimated where she talks about her career in movies. iluvdvds@Cult Labs likes this. |

A great selection of films there, Monkey. Hopefully you'll see a lot more of Turbo Kid, Bloodsucking Bastards, We Are Still Here and a bunch of others over the coming weeks/months! Turbo Kid and Deathgasm are my personal faves so far. They're so much fun! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, dude. Your Vice is going to be a great experience!

So after two years away (I visited Fantasia in 2013 and 2014) it was back to London for Frightfest. This was my first time since the move to the Vue and while the atmosphere of the Empire's big screen was sadly missing the festival has become much bigger with almost 70 films and strong attendance from the cast and crews. My adventures in Berlin and Hamburg meant that I had already seen These Final Hours Bite Body Demonic Frankenstein Hallow Howl Nightfare Nina Forever Rabid Dogs Scherzo Diabolica Some kind of Hate Stung which greatly ease the decision about what to see on the discovery screens. In the end I watched A Christmas Horror Story Awaiting Bait Curve Deathgasm Diabolical Emilie Future Shock Hellions III Inner Demons Jeruzalem Landmine Goes Click Lesson Night of the Deb Road Games Shut In Sun Choke Tales of Halloween We are Still Here Hawk the Slayer Hellraiser Stung and for the first time in a long time I can honestly say I didn't see a bad film in London. Although its also worth commenting that there weren't any great films (unless you count Hellraiser) this year - although that seems to be in common with every other festival I have attended so far in 2015. My highlights Bait - a quite brilliant second film from Emmerdales Dominic Brunt Future Shock - documentary on the history of 2000A.D. and the comics wider pop culture impact The Lesson - school teacher tries hard to educate his wayward students Hawk the Slayer and Hellraiser |
