FrightFest

Wicker Carry On.

This film felt like Robin Askwith should have had the lead role in it.

Like the Star Wars prequels - when the highlight is Christopher Lee against green screen you know it is a bad, bad film.

Great deaths, saw the ending coming a mile off (and I've only ever seen 1 and 2 and they were on TV).

If ever this was made for a festival crowd and the audience reactions hightened the enjoyment of the movie then this was it, but it was rollocking good fun.

Can I swear on this forum and not get banned/censored?

Fucking ace.

I found the music to be very distracting and unnecessary. When shooting in the outdoors (especailly the river scenes) I think just natural sounds would have been better than a bombastic soundtrack.

Unevenly paced too but it was an ok way to end the festival.

I think in the Q&A after the writer (director?) suggested that drafts were changed based on a supernatural element should be in or not.

Well acted and well paced but I found this to be rather dull and disappointing.

I hate to say it, but this film would have been better if there had been more violence and gore in it.

Apart from the idea of collection vials this did nothing for me other than sing Therapys? 'Dopamine, Seratonin, Adrenaline' song (which, like this film, there a far better example of their 'genre').

Boring dross.

Made me wish I'd watched 'The Man Who Saw FrankenStein Cry'.

3D is pointless for this film and in general.

Aside from that I only saw the original when it first came so I can't and won't do a direct comparison.

It was entertaining enough but Chris Sarandon's cameo was the only thing of any memorable note and only that is from a film geek perspective.

They dropped the 'child experimentation' and 'external threat' very quickly, to the point of it being pointless being there, but I suppose this was about how people act in trapped situations and to that end I felt it could and even should have been even bleaker. A bit too average for me, though it l...

Excellent

I've never seen so much shit in my life.

Board newbie (longtime lurker) FrightFest newbie (going to whole shebang) Though I'd post to say hello as this is the most you'll get out of me unless I'm cornered or drinking. I'll be the fool looking like Big Jim Martin wearing 3-D glasses over his normal specs, which I appreciate in the dark is n...
