I was at this year’s Frighfest in London yesterday. T’was indeed an awesome day of horror.
I’m going to post reviews of the 6 films over the next few days, but for now here’s a summary of my Twittering throughout the day:
- “Frightfest Sunday begins. Think From Within might be today’s turkey, but keeping an open mind.”
- “Unimpressed by Frightfest’s first offering of the day. Heavy handed, predictable, and lacking suspense. What say you, other Frightfesters?”
- “Let The Right One In: Morrissey would be proud. Beautiful, moving Swedish vampire awesomeness. Want to see it again. Will settle on the book”
- “Broken: Lena is pretty, but cannot save such a boring, boring film. Seems the #frightfest back channel agree!”
- “Autopsy: fun gore-fest with some gloriously colourful lighting and imaginative gore. Nothing too deep, but sometimes that’s what you want.”
- “And next is Martyrs. Which is all about teddy bears, chocolate biscuits and marshmellows. Or something.”
- “Martyrs: cannot do this justice in 140 characters. Quite special I think. Deeper exploration on blog later. Challenging film though.”
- “Jack Brooks: good stuff. Think Brain Dead, Bad Taste, Evil Dead. Decent effects, good laughs (Howard) and the perfect end to my FF trip!”
