FrightFest

Disco to be voted for separately...

Went for In Fear, even though it was the best of an extremely poor selection that day.

Dark Tourist is winning this day? Really???

Sure is Mr Street; this years Chained.

But Chained was actually pretty good!

Seriously, I am amazed about Dark Tourist. I thought it was utter toss.

Its nail in the coffin for me was Cudlitz in the Q&A. I know a lot of people thought he was interesting and expanded on the character's background, but I thought he was just so boring to listen to. If he said 'it's all there in the script' once, he said it a hundred times. Yes, but we haven't read the script! It's great for him that he's so passionate about the film, but oddly I thought he spoke quite flatly about the role and I really lost patience. However, I was trapped in the middle of our row inbetween friends who were listening to him, so I sat there rather than getting up (more fool me).

I thought it wasn't anything that hadn't been done before, and actually since being away from the festival the more I've thought about it, the more it's annoyed me as a movie, though I can't quite put my finger on why.

To answer the thread, though, I'm going to go with In Fear as the best of a poor Sunday showing. I enjoyed the Q&A for that one, too
