When did you first become interested in horror stories and movies? In the early 70s I would sneak up with my brother and watch Bob Wilkins on Creature Features on KTVU channel 2. I was 6 the first time I watched Night of the Living Dead on Creature Features and loved it. I became a fan of horror movies for a long time after. It was only natural because in the States we really celebrated Halloween back then. At the time I was reading book like Black Beauty because I was really into horses but I think I started liking fantasy when our teacher read The Hobbit to us when I was 11 and my mom, knowing that I loved the Salem’s Lot mini series, bought me Salem’s Lot the book with pictures from the mini series and after that I was hooked on horror books. I think I was 13 when that happened. What gave you the idea for your channel and getting on YouTube? You know, I’m not even sure how I found out about the channel URMAKER, but I was listening to him while getting a story ready to send to a maga

Step back in time to 17th century rural England for a wickedly enthralling folk horror, To Fire You Come At Last, from writer-director Sean Hogan (Little Deaths, The Devil’s Business). This mini feature is an atmospheric homage to the great tradition of British supernatural television from the 1970s and gets its world premiere at FrightFest 2023 on Saturday, 26th August at 6pm. A group of men have been entrusted to walk a coffin to the local graveyard for burial. However, the path they must tread is no ordinary route... it’s steeped in ancient folklore and superstitions that make many hesitant to walk it after dark. Convinced to take on the challenging journey, the group – Squire Mallow (Mark Carlisle – The Crown), Ransley (James Swanton – The Thing That Ate the Birds), a drunken peasant, thuggish manservant Pike (Richard Rowden – Survive) and Holt (Harry Roebuck), the best friend of the deceased – set out on their trek. As they venture forth, their mission turns dark and they find the

Insidious: The Red Door embarks on a chilling odyssey into the depths of supernatural horror, deftly guided by director Patrick Wilson in his debut at the helm. As the fifth installment in the esteemed Insidious franchise, the film masterfully crafts a sinister narrative of forgotten memories, familial discord, and the malevolent specters lurking within the shadows. Set nine years subsequent to the events of Insidious: Chapter 2, the story introduces us to a fractured realm where Josh Lambert's haunting history remains concealed within his suppressed recollections. Patrick Wilson's portrayal of Josh navigates a life scarred by divorce, bereavement, and strained relationships. The passing of his mother, Lorraine, marks the commencement of unsettling encounters that plunge into the core of unresolved family dynamics. The plot gains momentum as Josh's son, Dalton, embodied by Ty Simpkins, unwittingly sketches an ominous depiction of the eponymous red door—a portal to the disqu

Accompanied by Josh, who experiences Bogotá for the first time, they leave their children behind in the United States. Will this journey offer them an opportunity to mend their fractured marriage, or will it lead to their literal undoing?

As an avid follower, I can confidently affirm that this film captivates from start to finish, immersing the audience in its gripping narrative. The plot skillfully intertwines various timelines and characters, seamlessly taking us back to the intense events of 1998 during the Raccoon City incident. This sets the stage for the high-stakes action that unfolds in the present day. Familiar faces from the Resident Evil video games, including Leon S. Kennedy (Matthew Mercer), Jill Valentine (Nicole Tompkins), and Chris Redfield (Kevin Dorman), evoke a sense of nostalgia for long-time enthusiasts, while newcomers swiftly become engrossed in the compelling storyline. The animation quality in Death Island is truly exceptional. The meticulous attention to detail in portraying the infected creatures

Ahead of the World Premiere of THE BLUE ROSE, which he made whilst still at school, George Baron talks about overcoming self-doubt, the concept of ‘pastel-noir’ and the influence of David Lynch as a male role model. George, THE BLUE ROSE marks your feature film debut. What would you say were the biggest challenges in getting it off the ground? The biggest challenge was probably overcoming my own doubts and anxieties I had about the project. Getting the right people on board for the cast and crew actually fell into my lap pretty easily. When you started shooting the film in 2021 you were only sixteen years old, joining a very select band of teenage feature film makers. How did you find coping with all the pressures at the time? Yeah, I don’t think there are many of us out there. I’ve only heard of like two others, so it feels nice to be spearheading this new generation of filmmakers. I literally shot the film over my summer break and then went back to school like two days after we
