The trouble with having audience voting is that the audience won't have seen every film, whereas people on the organising team have.

I can't say for sure, but I would put money on not one of the organising team having seen every film.

I've never understood the Total Film 'Awards' as they seem to be published almost as soon as the festival is over and there is no information on how the films are nominated and voted into their respective winning positions. Difficult, I think, for FF to do their own awards as they'd have to appoint ...

Nice work on collating the votes.

You know there's a poll function on the forum? Maybe might have been easier to post a poll so people could just poke buttons instead of typing.

I dont think it should have been in a HORROR film festival. It's not a horror film festival, it's 'The Dark Heart of Cinema' which can encompass many things and give the programmers some leeway when it comes to selecting films. Dark themes and horror adjacency make for a more entertaining mix IMO. ...

I had a man's giant hotdog sticking in my face during CLIMAX

If only the Carry On films were still going. Classic 'Oh Matron' dialogue.

For me personally I thought it was one of the weaker

Oh well, looks like I read it wrong.

We have decided that having a flood of people walking out in front of the visiting guests when they are being interviewed due to other films starting or limited scheduled breaks is really not a good look. It can't be something the guests are unfamiliar with if they've been at other festivals though...

So... for the first time in a good number of years I was unable to attend, but I've been watching intently while running the press for my site remotely. My writers at the festival seem to have had a ball, certainly there were very few poor ratings on the pre-festival screeners we reviewed and from w...

It's not for me to cast aspersions on a certain FrightFest director whose choice these two films were, but on the other hand I have to put my hand up and confess that I had input into Bubba's Chili Parlour and Zombie Women of Satan Fun fact: I shared a flat in Gateshead with Zombie Women of Satan d...

The Devil's Doorway is found footage I believe.

Trailer coming up as "private" on the site...

You can watch it on the film's IMDB page.

Very old-school style (the entire movie is 4:3 aspect ratio) so I'm not sure if it will suffer the usual shaky-cam that is mostly intolerable to people who get affected by it.

Have there been any emails recently? I'm on Hotmail, but I don't think I have had any for sometime.....

Hotmail has a notoriously stringent spam filter. Definitely check your spam folder, if they even managed to reach it.
