FrightFest

Share

FrightFest returns to scare up a treat in London at the end of August, and the full programme for the Sunday’s short film showcase has finally been revealed.

Featuring a first look at the new short from Marc Price, the man behind previous FF stand-out Colin , this line-up is a gory confectionary of international talent.

From a Turkish mask scarer to cyborgs and, uh, joggers, 2010’s selection should inspire just as many chills and chuckles as previous years.

Also appearing at the Fest, which runs from Thursday 26 August to Monday 10 August at the Empire Cinema, is the Amazing Krypto Brothers’ Down Under , which finds a young woman reuniting with her family, only to find a banshee haunting her family home.

“You wanted Evil Dead 4 , well here it is,” say FF. “ Down Under , over the top and with enough Gothic chills and atmospheric thrills to drill spookiness into the back of your screaming skull.”

Tickets for individual films are now on sale over at the Empire Cinema website . Check out the Sunday programme below…
