(Mid!) Weekly Comp - Outcast - 09/01/11 - FINISHED
 

Hi everyone!

Sorry about this - its been a super busy week for yours truly- hence the four day lateness. However, thanks to Sarah (and her fantastic newsletters) for the reminder about doing a weekly comp :thumb:

So here we have it, guys. A very easy competition but a great prize to make up for my competition slacking :laugh:

This week's prize is non-other than...

“THE BEST BRITISH HORROR FILM SINCE THE DESCENT.” (FOUR STARS) – EYE FOR FILM.

Outcast, the debut feature from director Colm McCarthy (Spooks; The Tudors; Murphy’s Law), is an “intelligent, engaging, and unexpectedly creepy” (FearNet.com) contemporary supernatural horror film steeped in ancient Celtic occult, mythology and mysticism.

Boasting a strong cast of established British and Irish acting talent that includes James Nesbitt (Five Minutes Of Heaven; Murphy’s Law), Karen Gillan (Doctor Who), James Cosmo (Sons Of Anarchy), Kate Dickie (Somers Town; Red Road) and Christine Tremarco (Waterloo Road), along with up-and-coming newcomers Niall Bruton and Hanna Stanbridge (Lip Service), the film has been described as “a monster movie, a murder mystery, and a Polanski-style tale of strange emotional ties that gradually unravel in several unpleasant ways” (FearNet.com) and as “a bold, ambitious first feature… a genuinely menacing piece of horror” (Twitch).

On the run from a deadly pursuer and using an ancient form of magic to hide themselves, Irish travellers Mary (Dickie) and her teenage son, Fergal (Bruton), wind up living in a dingy flat on a run down council estate in the suburbs of Edinburgh. Shortly after arriving, Fergal makes friends with a pretty, feisty neighbour, a Scottish-Romany girl called Petronella (Stanbridge), but it is a relationship which the fiercely protective Mary is determined to prevent from developing – and for very good reason.

Meanwhile, Mary and Fergal’s hunter, Cathal (Nesbitt), a mysterious, terrifying and extremely dangerous man, is closing in. Using his own dark magic to trace his quarry, Cathal’s arrival in the Scottish capital coincides with a spate of brutal murders on the suburban estate. The killings appear to be the work of an inhuman beast and a connection to Cathal soon becomes apparent. What remains to be seen, however, is whether Cathal is responsible for the bloodshed and slaughter or if his mission is to prevent it.

A smart, stylish and original addition to a recent wave of quality British horror movies, Outcast proved to be one of the standout features for horror fans at London’s Film4 FrightFest in 2010.

Outcast (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£12.99) by Momentum Pictures on 17th January 2011.

But how do you win? Well simply come up with the funniest, more original caption for the below picture. Simple! I'll pick the three winning entries this sunday, before a new competition is posted.

So thats what happens if you try lighting a dogs fart.

Well that clears that up; the dog drank the absinthe...

"...and that's why you don't feed a dog baked beans"

"I think we've entered a bizarre Stephen King universe where CUJO meets FIRESTARTER!"

"My dog's better than yours.... He's pyrokinetic!"

Jim and Sarah had heard "No dogs allowed" just one too many times...

"I thought women do NOT fart"

"Did you wash your hands?"

"I told you not to smoke in the car."
