Frightfest 2010 preview

OK, so I’ve had some time to digest the line-up for this year’s Frightfest in London this August and I’ve managed to secure my weekend ticket! As ever, it’s an interesting line-up consisting of a wide range of movies from those I’ve been looking forward to based on their notoriety (A Serbian Movie) to interesting-sounding movies [...]

Frightfest 2010

OK, so there’s been an early announcement about this year’s Frightfest and it’s a good one! The opening and closing films have been announced as:

Hatchet 2 – Adam Green is a long-time Frightfest contributor, and it’s the successful screening of the original Hatchet that really got his career under way. After not being able to attend [...]

Frightfest Glasgow 2010 - a quick preview

So, before normal service is resumed – and since I finally managed to get a ticket & accommodation booked – I thought I’d give my thoughts on the upcoming Frightfest Glasgow event at the end of February. This will be my first Glasgow event, and my first non-August Frightfest as well as my first ever trip [...]

New year, new look

While working through a few new posts for this year (more reviews coming soon!), I decided to change up the theme I’m using in WordPress. This is going to be one of a few changes happening while I’m working on a few new things in the background. Why the change? Well, while I enjoyed the theme [...]

More free movies on YouTube

Maybe I’m just a little slow on the uptake, but here goes. Parallel to the recent announcement that YouTube will be trialling paid-for movie rentals in the near future, it came to my attention that they have a page here that lets you stream full movies for free. They’re of variable quality and have the usual [...]

Free horror soundtrack compilation

For whatever reason, Full Moon Pictures have made a compilation of their themes available on the free music site Jamendo – that is, it’s free and legal. It’s a meaty 29 tracks, including tracks from 80s classics Trancers, The Pit and the Pendulum and Seed People, along with themes from later movies such as the Puppet [...]

Frightfest 2009 preview

So, here we are exactly 3 weeks before Frightfest 2009 opens its doors. I’ve have my full weekend ticket, flights and accommodation booked and raring to go. I’m not 100% convinced my seat isn’t too close to the screen (B27), but at least that means that I’ll get a good view of the guests! Those guests have also now been confirmed, so let’s see what I think so far, after the jump:

Thoughts on the new Freddy Krueger

I’m of two minds about the upcoming remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street. On the one hand, the original is a bonafide classic of 80s horror cinema and something that’s held up extremely well with age. However, the franchise really is due for a new makeover, and Freddy deserves a return to his scary boogeyman roots rather than his stand-up comic routines in some of the later sequels. With Freddy vs. Jason‘s much talked-about sequel not appearing any time soon, I don’t see why a reboot is necessarily a bad thing.

Frightfest announcement: '80s classic!

I’m a bit late updating this news, but I’ve been away for a few days… Anyway, Frightfest have made their first confirmed announcement of films screening at this year’s event – An American Werewolf In London!

This is interesting news for a few reasons. First of all, I’ve been going to Frightfest regularly for a couple of [...]

Nightbreed uncut discovered!

Clive Barker’s second movie Nightbreed, made in 1990, is one of the great butchered movies. Like Orson Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons and William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist 3, Nightbreed was a fantastic movie, heavily re-edited by clueless studio executives who failed to understand the movie they were watching. Also like those two movies, the cut footage [...]
