Fright Night Horror

  Ahead of Legend’s UK TV Premiere of horror revenge thriller NEVER LET GO on Saturday June 3, director Howard J Ford reflects on a near family tragic experience, the importance of locations and returning to his horror genre roots.

Looking back at the making of the movie, what memories stand out for you? It was a hell of an experience shooting Never Let Go amongst the twisty, turns of the Marrakesh streets. I recall running round with a fully laden Steadicam following our wonderful star Angela Dixon and dripping with so much sweat I almost could not see anything and that I might die...

I wondered, could I do anything cinematic with that?”  Ahead of the UK digital release of his latest film THE LOCKDOWN HAUNTINGS on May 3, director & writer Howard J Ford talks about being a one-man crew, casting Tony Todd, his do-it-yourself SFX kit and losing his uncle to the Pandemic. You shot THE LOCKDOWN HUNTINGS during the UK’s first lockdown. Was the COVID-19 outbreak the inspiration? If so, why a ghost story? Howard: It absolutely was. I am a believer in using what you have as an indie film-maker and I had a global pandemic! There was a sudden influx of fear, isolation and anxiety.
