Re: 2014 All nighter
I agree, probably the worst lineup for an all nighter I can remember, on paper anyway. The Pact 2?!

I genuinely LOL'd all over the shop with that quote. This should be on the poster!

Re: London Film Festival 2014
Likewise. there's 3 screenings of it too. Think I'm going for The Drop (new Gandolfini/Tom Hardy film) followed by It Follows in 11th Oct.

Re: Frightfest quality of films and clashing with the LFF
Also, the quantity of shit, b-movie and plain trashy films at FrightFest increases year on year. This year, with Nymph, Shockwave etc on the main screen, far more respected and talked about films were shunted to lesser screens. The main screen should be reserved for the main lineup and well received...

Re: Frightfest quality of films and clashing with the LFF
Good post and for the most part, I agree. On the whole, there were some great films chosen this year across the weekend, and generally everything I wanted to see aside from 'It Follows', was on at FrightFest. I was very happy I got to see Coherence and The Green Inferno on the big screen, with TGI h...

Re: Disco highlights?
Honeymoon was fantastic....as was The Canal
Re: The Canal
You made the right choice, The Canal is far superior to The Den. If you still want to see it it's on Netflix USA.

Thoughts on FrightFest @ Vue so far..
It's Day 3 at FrightFest's new home so we've had a chance to settle in and get a feel for what it's like and what works, what doesn't work. You can tell in terms of the running of the festival, the boys have put a hell of a lot of effort in and to see Paul/Alan etc roaming around constantly checking...

Re: BEST film of Friday
Honeymoon for me, without a doubt, brilliant film with a sense of threat throughout. The ending was quite unforgiving and effective if a little abrupt but had a decent impact on the audience in disco 1.

Re: The Harvest
Hi all, If you only see one film on Saturday, make it The Harvest. It left me exhilarated and exhausted! Review here: http://bit.ly/1wiOlis Really? Saturday also has The Babadook and Coherence - you'd pick this over either of those if you only had the choice of one? It does look promising from what...

Re: Shockwave Darkside 3D
Did anyone stay for the director's Q&A? I was thinking of returning after I'd walked out after 20 minutes just to ask him these questions... 1. How does it feel knowing you've made one of the worst films in history? 2. How much did you pay the FrightFest organisers to select your film? 3. Where...

Re: Shockwave Darkside 3D
START OF RANT.... Right - I'd be interested to know how this got selected and also why it was on the main screen - I have really thought hard about it and the only reason I can think is that it was a "World" Premiere. Ofcourse it was a World Premiere - no other festival with any ounce of s...

The Green Inferno
Didn't disappoint on the gore front, despite 90% of the gore happenning in the space of 5 minutes (the scene involving Jonah). Some laughs along the way too and good one liners. Felt very short. What I liked was the very in your face editing style and random shot choices, nothing was hidden for the ...

Shockwave Darkside 3D
Wow. Probably one of the worst films I've ever tried to watch. I lasted 20 minutes, couldn't handle the GCSE level computer graphics, the amateur wooden acting and the ridiculous childish plot. I had a laugh with Vue staff on the way out about how shit it was (well those first 20 minutes). Have no i...
Honeymoon
Just come out of this. Bloody hell this was better than expected. Bit of a slow start but very uneasy atmosphere throughout, very creepy and vague but this made it all the better. I think this and Antichrist have created a bit of a sub-genre of "couple getting away from it all alone together in...
