FrightFest

Almost a year late with another reply to this, but as 2018 FF is just around the corner, its got me sniffing around for horror stuff. Just wanted to say that it would be nice if there was am actual signing event, maybe a half hour slot shoved somewhere in the schedule so people can get some signatur...

I have hotel and train tickets booked, now I just have to hope I can get a festival pass, especially as my hotel is non-refundable.

My hotel is all booked and paid for too, so im going for the festival pass! I watched a lot of films last year so its well worth it!

Looking at the new FF poster, there are some hints as to what we'll be seeing.

Outpost 31 (The Thing)
Catch of the Deep
Who shot the Coach?
Something involving Frankenstein
Something involving Swarms, Bees or Wasps (Candyman?)
Something involving Hellraiser (please, please, please, please!!!)

For me it was:

Better Watch Out
Deathnote
Sequence Break
Dead Shack
It Stains the Sand Red

It was my first time so I didn't really know what to expect from the event, but was very surprised and happy overall. I have very bad social anxiety and am incredibly shy, but I found everyone to be very friendly and happy, with the horror screen and Duke Mitchell Party having great atmosphere. I wa...

Yeah, It was his stepsister, but we only found that out in one line during the cgi section. Still was a bit cringey, regardless of their relationship.

I agree with Alex mostly. it started off good but then fell a little flat near the middle and failed to get back up. The main plot twist was ruined for me a little too early on as soon as things started to seem a bit off with the bf. Still likable characters (or likable unlikable characters in Pitch...

I found this rather dull, the villain was obvious right from the start and lacked any kind of personality. The protagonists made completely stupid choices (you get a threatening letter and obviously have a peeping tom and you DONT call the police?) and went particularly interesting. The homeless cha...

Although the horror was on the lightside and the ending was unsatifying, I really liked this movie because of the humor and likable characters. Would have been better if the dad had somehow survived, maybe by becoming a zombie and having the family suddenly in the villains shoes as having a loved on...

It was an okay film but it seemed a bit hollow with an unsatifying ending. Andy was wasted and about as useful as a wet tea-towel, and the deaths were unimagiative. In fact the first main death was taken directly from Bride of Chucky, pretty much. Acting was fine, characters were decent, effects goo...

For me it was like an episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark with the tiresome cookie cutter characters, typical simple plot and unimaginative kills. The trickster character was excellent (im a sucker for rhyme) and I liked the puppets in the circus part, but I felt that some of the effects were poor...

Uncreative, purile, not remotely funny or scary, utterly unlikable characters, creepy incest subplot, badly animated claymation and overly long drawn out gags (the intermission and the bike that wouldnt start) that werent funny. On the plus side, its much less about fetish shaming that I thought it ...

Ive never seen any of the Hatchet films, so this one didnt enthuse me much before I went in. Luckily apart from the final stinger, the film set the history and plot up enough where I didnt really need to know the other 3 movies. The kills were alright, some of the humor was ok (such as Wilf at the b...

For me, this was the best film of the lot. The acting was good, the deaths were excellent and gorey, without showing much of the actual gore and the villain was evil, calculated and chilling. He went from a normal 12 year old to a bit obsessed to a bit crazy to full on psychopath. The twist in the e...

I HATED this movie, it was a complete mess of confusing elements that tried to be linked stories and failed miserably. Just as Soapmaker says, I think it would have been a lot better without the starkweather plot and just did them as 3 short stories - the rapist/femme fatale, Lumbering masked killer...
