Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
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 [...]
My first ever Glasgow Frightfest kicked off with director Alex Stapleton’s documentary, Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel.
To quote Andy himself ‘Whether you like his movies or not, there is absolutely no denying the impact that Roger Corman has had on cinema.’ and after watching this fine documentary, I can only agree.

Aliens. What are your thoughts? Do you believe? There have been numerous reports of crashed alien space-craft and several different alien autopsy videos, most debunked as hoaxes and hokum, though doubt still circles around a few.

Found footage. The bugbear of the modern horror fan.
This cinéma vérité style of film-making is nothing particularly new but lately, it has become the latest “go-to” craze for many, many horror directors.
If done well, as in the case of Troll Hunter or Paranormal Activity, the result can be an experience that feels fresh yet manages to [...]
Whether you like his movies or not, there is absolutely no denying the impact that Roger Corman has had on cinema.
Most famous for producing low-budget horror flicks and B-movies such as Attack Of The Crab Monsters, A Bucket Of Blood, The Wasp Woman and 1960′s Little Shop Of Horrors, Corman’s productions have also launched the [...]
