Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
We all know that Frightfest is the UK’s premier horror festival. Nothing else comes close to touching it. It is enormous and consistently attracts great films and great guests.
It also comes to my hometown of Glasgow every year, bringing the same high calibre of films and guests and 2013′s line-up is among the most impressive [...]
This is one that has had our very own bookworm John Milton salivating for quite some time.
After receiving glowing reviews at its World Premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival, Ciaran Foy’s gritty housing scheme horror flick, Citadel has a new poster to further promote it’s bleak, urban hellishness.
Part-filmed in my beloved Glasgow, Citadel stars James [...]
I cannot believe that it has been TWENTY YEARS since myself and a couple of schoolmates headed into Glasgow City Centre, straight from a hard day’s learning, and stepped into The Arches for one of the most impressive horror attractions I have ever seen.
Alien War drags you into an almost perfect (if a little Red [...]
Without question, one of the best films of Glasgow FrightFest, and truth be told, one of the best thrillers I have seen so far this year, is Crawl (review), the feature debut from writer/director Paul China, and his producer brother, Benjamin.
In fact, in my review, I said, “I’d go so far as to say that Crawl [...]
Quite how I didn’t notice this in the AndyErupts mailbox yesterday, I do not know and yes, I am now a little late to the party but…better late than never.
So, hot on the heels of my interview with Shadow director Federico Zampaglione at Glasgow Frightfest, which saw a preview of the first 7 minutes of [...]
The first time I heard about Mother’s Day director Darren Lynn Bousman and Terrance Zdunich’s musical follow-up to their cult hit horror musical Repo: The Genetic Opera, was back near the end of December.
At that time, all we had was a sparse website, a vague plot and a 12 minute teaser trailer which featured “Victoriandustrial” chanteuse, [...]
I’ve been keeping an eye on this project for quite some time now. Scouring the internet for behind the scenes gossip, stills, footage; anything I could get my paws on. Now, no sooner has Andy’s keyboard cooled down after bringing you news yesterday on Citadel, we can now bring you a trailer!
Here in the UK, [...]
We last mentioned Ciarán Foy’s upcoming horror flick Citadel back at the start of January when John Milton reported that the film was to receive its World Premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival.
Well, that is indeed the case and now, you can feast your eyes on the first festival poster for the film which was shot [...]
I am a huge fan of Italian horror. I count Dario Argento, Ruggero Deodato and Luci Fulci among my favourite directors.
OK, their films haven’t always been fantastic but the ones that are…really are.
The giallo style of film-making has been on the wane in recent years with only a handful of films (most notably Amer) attempting [...]
The line-up at this year’s Glasgow Frightfest was an odd one, to say the least. Some films that I had been massively looking forward to wound up being hugely disappointing, while others that I had approached with cautious optimism wound up blowing me away.
Crawl rests firmly in the latter camp.
One of my top three “films [...]
