Fright Night Horror

Ahead of the UK Digital release of THE HEIRESS on March 15, 2021, actress Candis Nergaard talks about the harrowing research for her lead role, causing a stir on Newsnight, her Romany roots and coping with lockdown. You star in a new British supernatural horror film, THE HEIRESS. Tell us how you got the part and what is was about the script that appealed to you. I was contacted early on the process by the director Chris Bell who’d had me in mind as an option for Claire. I read an early draft of the script and absolutely loved the part, it’s rare for me to be scared by horror but the script alone conjured such vivid imagery that I was haunted by it, I knew it would work. When The Heiress was ready to go, I was offered the role of Claire, I couldn’t wait to get my teeth into it. I’ve played the lead role in TV, Radio and Theatre but this was my first for feature film.  Candis Nergaard as Clare in THE HEIRESS What did you find most demanding about playing Clare? It was the research I did

Ahead of FrightFest’s UK special screening of THE WOMAN WITH LEOPARD SHOES at the Glasgow Film Festival, director Alexis Bruchon talks about his love of Noir, casting his brother and directing in his underwear… Your background is in illustration and graphic design. Was making a movie the next logical step as an artist? From a very young age, I wanted to make a movie (as a teenager I did make a slasher called Ice Crime a true masterpiece!) - but drawing is direct, cost nothing and allows you to produce any images you want. So, I started with two unpublished graphic novels. The good thing with comics is that I realised you can tell a story with very few elements… and no money! So, when I started on THE WOMAN WITH THE LEOPARD SHOES, drawing was highly important in the making of the film because I storyboarded everything with a lot of indications like light, moments, actions etc. What was the inspiration for THE WOMAN IN THE LEOPARD SHOES? Noir films are a huge inspiration for the movie, e

Ahead of the UK Digital release of THE HEIRESS on March 15, 2021, director Chris Bell talks about familial horror influences, his South London ‘hooligangster’ phase and learning new lockdown skills. How did you get the idea for THE HEIRESS? I was in my local library when I came across a painting. The artist was a local lady. I was drawn to this eerie artwork and I knew I had to meet her. When we did meet I told her that I was going to write a film inspired by this painting. Not only that but I promised to feature her in the movie – and I did just that. Myself, alongside Danny and Kelly Prescott, created the script for what became The Heiress. I’d arranged a meeting with producer Jezz Vernon, whom I had recently worked with on another movie. We pitched the script to him and from there he came on board. How would you describe the film? The Heiress is high concept horror that charts the story of four generations of a rural British family dominated by the female line. These women have

Paintball Massacre star Natasha Kilip offers up her advice to those considering a pursue in acting, the importance of social media marketing, and her dream to work Quentin Tarantino. When did you get involved in Paintball Massacre? I was one of the last actors to be brought on board. I think they struggled to find the right person to play Lauren. The writer Chris contacted me and asked me to audition & shortly after I met up with Darren the director & then 2 weeks later, we started filming.  Any noticeable differences between working on a smaller project like this to one of the earlier, bigger projects you’ve been involved in? Usually with smaller projects there is a smaller team. But I love that because you all form a bond and become a little family away from home.  I imagine there’s some real pluses being in an indie production. What would you say they are? Things just feel more authentic when it’s an indie production. It’s raw, and you see the crew and producers and director
