FrightFest

Either I was the only person here to see it, or I completely misjudged it but I’m amazed nobody else is ranking The Laplace’s Demon. Such a smart premise, brilliantly constructed with clockwork precision and looks straight out of the 30s or 40s. It had a real Fermat’s Room or (retro) Cube feel to i...

In no particular order:

Crystal Eyes
Terrified
Climax
Luciferina
Incident in Ghostland

though it's a close run thing for numbers 5-7

I was glad this was a portmanteau film as that meant none of them lasted too long. That being said I did like the Turkish djinn story. I have no idea what was going on in the first one which appeared to offer equal amounts of sex and laundry but with no discernible plot.

I wasnt expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the villain was revealed at the end via the references back to the audition/intro clips.

Looking forward to where they take part 2. This was funny and inventive with some great effects.

No gore, but tense and menacing. Shooting it in black and white gave it a period feel despite the modern tech on show. Can't say much without spoilers but if you are familiar with the story which must have inspired this, then it's a fab take on it.

I agree also, this film was one of 4 Argentinian films I saw and I enjoyed all of them. Beautifully shot with great performances from the leading couple.

The discovery screens were much bigger at Shepherds Bush Vue, but that's the trade-off for moving back into the West End...

I feel bad for saying it, but I preferred Shepherd's Bush, took me a bit longer to get home but the seats had more leg room and there was a Poundland for snacks.

Well I'm pretty gutted - out of twelve Discovery tickets I wanted I've only got two, so I now need to rethink pretty much half of my weekend and I have no idea what I'm going to do. My ticket for Bad Samaritan vanished into thin air at the Basket stage and I still don't know what happened; since I'...

I got everything free except Night Sitter and Ghost Mask Scar. I caved and bought a ticket for GMS though.

H-35!
Any G, H, or J 30somethings around?

I am on row J, hoping that my choice this year improves the leg room situation.

I enjoyed this a lot. I would actually like to see it again in time. I am sure there is much I missed first time round.

This was one of my favourite films of FF. I also thought this was going in one direction only to be taken by surprise. I look forward to seeing more from Samuel Galli.
