Halloween question

Hello.
I have a question about tickets.
I can't do the whole pass but would like to come to one film. Single tickets are sold out, but I note there are still passes available for the day/night.

Will those be converted to single tickets anytime soon?

Eating Miss Campbell

Fun fun fun.
My one choice for late night Frightfest and it did not disappoint. Such a gorgeous audience to watch it with.

:-)

I had to warn some friends that outside not for them unless they enjoyed The End of the F***ing World.
But that's like methadone to this film's Opium.

Re: Dark Glasses

We enjoyed it.
Sure he's done better films but this one is not in that category. I read a couple of mainstream reviews that seemed to be written by people who've never seen an Argento film.
And one even criticised the dog!!!

But also what a charming man.

Next Exit

Alan asked what we thought. I loved it. My first film of the day Next Exit had a similar core theme, but was beautifully understated. Science proves that ghosts are real, therefore people are able to volunteer to die for research purposes. Two of these people are thrust together on a road trip from ...

A Wounded Fawn

Starts as a mythological serial killer tale, a touch of American Psycho?
Then Act 2 deals with him reaping his desserts (and the film shifts into a pastiche of many colours, mostly RED with ladles of Evil Dead 2). Could have been pretentious but it's really a fun revenge splattered romp.

Re: Night Sky

My favourite of the weekend (and high on my list of Frightfest Faves) is another road trip (LA to New Mexico via Zion, Utah) Night Sky. AJ Bowen, Brea Grant and Scott Poythress play fugitives and their pursuer. The latter is after the former because of an unspecified criminal debt. Brea Grant helps ...

She Came From The Woods

An 80s pastiche like a gory Stranger Things. But made by two brothers not old enough to remember being too young to watch films like this. Not the snappiest dialogue but decent homage and a cast and crew who love the sub genre "camp site teens"
Also: three Kim Wilde songs

Re: Huesera

Huesera is the most 100% real world film we saw this year. (Self selected 13 films :-) ) Set in Mexico where a former hardcore punk settles down to give her family what they appear to want. She gets pregnant, but then perinatal psychology (or is it?) causes her to fall apart, and those around her to...

New Religion

New Religion, an incredibly low budget from Keishi Kondo. Friends and acquaintances chipped in with technical gear and know-how. Abul Mogard let him use a track for free. People with no prior acting ability did acting. And did it well. Yet he delivers the metaphysical and philosophical weight of mor...

Re: Burial

Burial is not the war film that my generation was brought up on. But it tells a taut battle as the big WWII ends, over an important detail of how post war propaganda will play out for the Russians and the Nazis. Very thoughtful and historical, while alluding to fantasy horror elements. and i for one...

Barbarian Two people inadvertently (?) end up at the same Air bnb in the run down part of Detroit. She's got a job interview tomorrow, he's trying a bit too hard not to be creepy. One thinks you can see where it's going, then suddenly it's like a Russian doll of a tale that has a bigger NOPE than th...

Re: Dachra

As noted above, not so original in story, but some genuinely spooky moments, and an engaging (if not all likeable) trio at the centre. The pacing was also good, delivering key moments at a steady pace through the film. I wanted to see it because it promised a culturally interesting setting and it di...

Re: Frankenstein screening swap

An interesting tangent, almost deserving its own thread ;) I asked the Vue people about changing the single tickets and they said they can't do that until Friday because that's when Saturday films come into their computer system in the cinema. So, unless anyone wants to swap two later showings for t...
