POSTCARDS FROM CANNES Each year the FrightFest "boys" scour the world visiting film festivals and events looking for the best fantasy and horror films to present back in London each August Bank Holiday weekend at the FILM4 FrightFest. In their Postcards from the various events, you can read about what they get up to, the interesting and not so interesting people that they meet , and more importantly, find out what they think of the films that they see.

In their first trip of 2008, the boys are off to the South of France and the Cannes Film Festival. Each day from the 13th of May, one of the boys will be posting an update reporting the going ons.

DOOMSDAY DAY The second of the FrightFest spring screening days and the final event before tickets for August's five day gore fest go on sale, was held in the Odeon West End on Saturday 3rd of May. Over three hundred FrightFesters, many who had traveled long distances to be in London for the day, enjoyed screenings of Dog Soldiers, The Descent and Doomsday. The films where all introduced by director Neil Marshall, who also welcomed cast and crew members to the stage to talk about their experiences working on Neil's three films. Flash bulbs went into overdrive when the Descent girls took to the stage. See the picture above. Fans also snapped up copies of the limited signed edition D-Day poster and t-shirt. Thanks to Neil Jenkins and Louisa Cowie, who kindly sent in pictures, a gallery of D-Day images has been posted here.
