Horror Show! The Film4 FrightFest Is Back
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
The “Woodstock of gore” returns to the Odeon West End with The Film4 FrightFest 2008! From Thursday 21st August to Monday 25th August, the UK’s number one event for horror fans will exclusively preview 26 new films. This year, six world premieres and sixteen UK premieres will play at the festival, which include the highly controversial French flick, Martyrs, the 3D slasher, Scar 3D, Clive Barker’s The Midnight Meat Train (starring Vinnie Jones), and the UK premiere of Paul W. S Anderson’s Death Race, starring Jason Statham and Joan Allen.
The festival will once again include special guest appearances, Q & A’s, sneak previews, a short film strand, signings, competition prizes and give-aways!
This is the number one festival for those eager to see the latest horror tiles before anyone else. Last year’s event introduced numerous now-infamous titles such as The Orphanage, Black Sheep and a fully uncut version of Uwe Boll’s highly controversial, Postal.
For a full timetable of this year’s line-up, log onto www.frightfest.co.uk. To book tickets call the dedicated hotline 0871 224 1983 or go online to: www.odeon.co.uk. But you better be quick, because these babies sell out pretty damn fast!

Now that I’m working up in the Capital again, maybe I should give Frightfest a check out this year.
I’ve always had a healthy interest in horror films, and this event sounds like a great showcase for the genre and it’s key players.
