FrightFest

Well, I tend to enjoy an Unreliable Narrator movie, so I had fun with this. It's a shame it didn't amount to much in the end, but it gets a charitable 6 of my 10.

PS, in the bogs after, I overheard a conversation between two mateys, which went something like; ‘You see that film about the bird who give herself an abortion?....yeah that’s the one…what you think…yeah….right, well, I was thinking at the end the baby was going to turn out to be a monster or somet...

The first time I read this, I read 'cork' as 'cock'! Anyway, amusing mis-readings aside, I don’t really get your point Steven. Are you really comparing your unfortunate case of the runs to the misery and horror of a self-administered abortion? I would like to imagine that no subject is beyond the p...

Sorry Marko darling, I know that you're a big bloke and all that, but I have to disagree. This was a highlight for me, in fact one of the strongest of the especially impressive selection of short films this year. I'm a little fascinated by the idea of family and pregnancy- one of the things that I ...

An unexpected gem and one of this year's highlights - intelligent, compassionate and gripping.

I did have some reservations about the ending, but these were swept aside by the JL's candid and articulate performance in the Q&A.

I'll snap up the director's cut as soon as it becomes available.

Predictable, yes - but still loads of fun

I enjoyed Fright Fest as much as ever this year, and saw a few staggeringly good films, but I have to agree the general quality seemed a step down from last year. The festival only really got going for me around late Saturday/Sunday time when the quality of the films improved. There seemed to be qu...

1. The appalling Hidden in the Woods
2. The tedious Paura 3D
3. The unintentionally funny Tulpa
4. The bewildering Berberian Sound Studio
5. The underwhelming REC 3

1. Sleep tight
2. Sinister
3. Chained
4. The seasoning house
5. Tower block

Also enjoyed The Possession, but struggling to think of any further highlights...

Simple but effective.

An excellent finale!

The opening scene is of a heavily-restrained woman, who is presented with some recently severed genitals by an unconvincing and faintly absurd figure dressed entirely in black. It’s a sight she did not expect, clearly did not appreciate and, no doubt, wishes she’d never seen. You might argue that sh...

I love Frightfest. It's one of the highlights of my year and "our" Glastonbury. But, until "Sleep Tight" this evening, I've been hugely underwhelmed by the standard this year. Take a moment to check some of the titles at last year's Frightfest and compare them to what we've seen ...

Can anyone film Jonbly's re-write in time for FF 14?

Emperor's New Clothes?

I don't know who Broadcast are, I don't care who Suzy Kendall is and I don't know what this film was about. A hugely frustrating experience...
