To Be An Apple

So it was a reeeeally nice October morning and I had my HTC Desire and a garden full of lovely apples so I made this little short video. Enjoy!



This will be the first in a line of videographic-poetry as and when the inspiration comes...

Fright Fest 2010

Wow. Another great year at Fright Fest, the UK's premiere Horror film festival at the Empire Cinema Leicester Square London. Boom!

The five day event promised an incredible line up of films, big names and fun & frolics, and it delivered on every level. I'm not saying every film ticked all the right boxes for me, but one mans trash is another mans treasure and there was certainly something for everyone be you gore hound, lover of schlock or a stickler for a story, every appetite was catered for.

Coming soon will be reviews of my top hits and misses of the festival, but for now it's all about the European Premiere of Daniel Stamms The Last Exorcism as presented by Eli Roth in person.




The film adopts a documentary style approach in which a team follows a troubled Evangelical minister as he attempts to lift the lid on the tricks used within the Exorcism trade to fleece the lost and needy of their hard earned coin.

A delicious blend of Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon and the Blair Witch the film blends some really great comedic elements within an incredibly dark and poignant film. Performances from leads Patrick Fabian as the preacher Cotton and Ashley Bell as the apparently possessed Nell are fantastic, with Fabian really playing up to 'sell' of the preacher pitching Jesus to the masses with a great line about going on to sell real estate when he sacks of the Exorcist trade.

Definitely a flick for the thrill seekers rather than gore lovers - I'll admit to spending the majority of the film peering over the top of my glass, since there was no pillow handy. Highly recommended.
