FrightFest Halloween (2020): Films ranked

One last thing, before I go, and retire that pumpkin image for good. I have the tough job of ranking each and every film I’ve seen across the past five days. This time it’s been […]

October 25, 2020 david.s.smith 0

This the end, beautiful friends. The closing night of FrightFest Halloween, and the last of 13 dedicated days the guys have given us – across three different festivals. 2020 has been a hell of a […]

FrightFest Halloween (2020) Day 3: Don’t tailgate the owners

October 24, 2020 david.s.smith 0

Day three! And what a mixed one it looks like – let it never be said horror isn’t a diverse genre. There’s a high-octane chase movie, a home invasion with a twist and what’ll hopefully […]

FrightFest Halloween (2020) Day 2: The Banishing, and other strange things

October 23, 2020 david.s.smith 0

Day 2 is here, with more exciting horrors on offer. Compared to the August event, it looks like the FrightFest guys have the online format down to a T, and it’s pleasantly surprising to watch […]

FrightFest Halloween (2020) Day 1: Held by some sinners

October 22, 2020 david.s.smith 0

It’s time for a home-invasion sequel. After situations dictated that they cancel their annual Halloween night, the FrightFest team have put together something extraordinary: a second online event that spans not just one, but five […]

September 23, 2020 david.s.smith 0

It’s a home invasion sequel! Arrow Video FrightFest will go virtual for the second time in 2020. Unfortunately, the gang have taken the difficult, but completely right, decision to cancel their planned Halloween event at […]

FrightFest (2020): films ranked

August 31, 2020 david.s.smith 0

It was always going to be strange seeing FrightFest go digital. Not that I socialise much normally, but without the big screen, the between-film chatter and rushed pints with festival friends it surely couldn’t be […]

It’s a home invasion! For the first time in its 21-year history, the Summer leg of FrightFest has left its natural home of London to take over living rooms around the UK. Across all four […]

Glasgow FrightFest (2020) day 2: buttholy water

March 8, 2020 david.s.smith 0

After a late-night, made even later by the loud sounds of next door’s TV through the paper-thin walls, I awoke to a Scottish breakfast and day 2 of FrightFest Glasgow. The first was varied enough, […]

Interview with Brian Hanson and Richard Handley on The Black String

August 31, 2019 david.s.smith 0

Of the many oddities that I saw at FrightFest this year, including Stiffler being a killer, maybe the weirdest was watching Agent Cody Banks grown up and calling a sex-line. This is how The Black […]
