Scream 4
Opens: April 15th 2011
Cast: Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Mary McDonnell, Emma Roberts Director: Wes Craven
Summary: Sidney Prescott, now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with family and friends, but it also brings about the return of Ghostface which puts the whole town in danger.
Analysis: Back in late 1996 when I first began covering film news, "Scream" was released and became more than just a sleeper hit. After years of genre movies being relegated to direct-to-video status, this comedic slasher spawned the biggest surge in the horror film genre since "Halloween" almost two decades before. Its post-modern stylings and witty self-aware dialogue went on to be a big influence on films and television in general.
Yet the "Scream" series itself never could quite capture that glory again. By the time the...

A Serbian Film
Stars: Srdjan Todorovic, Sergej Trifunovic, Jelena Gavrilovic, Slobodan Bestic, Katarina Zutic, Luka Mijatovic | Written by Aleksander Radivojevic and Srdjan Spasojevic | Directed by Srdjan Spasojevic
A Serbian Film finally got its UK premiere last night at the Prince Charles Theatre. This highly controversial and contentious film was due to be shown at FrightFest this year, uncut, so it was fitting that it was introduced by Alan Jones.
The film deals with retired porn star, Milos (Todorovic), who is contacted by an old co-start Layla (Zutic) to do one last, high paying movie for art director Vukmir. Knowing nothing about the plot, but lured by the promise of enough money to keep his young family financially secure, he agrees. With no script and directed via earpiece, Milos starts work on the film, but perturbed by the things he is asked to do, he quits, only to wake up 3 days later,...

Remember that notorious Serbian horror about the pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film? Well amazingly the flick, simply entitled 'A Serbian Film', that has managed to get screenings banned at plenty of festivals over the past few months has managed to cut and grab itself a UK theatrical release. The Srdjan Spasojevic helmed project, written by Serbian horror film critic Aleksandar Radivojevic ('Tears for Sale') is set to arrive in our theatres this December. The movie stars a whole host of actors whose names I won't even attempt to pronounce out loud including Srdjan Todorovic, Sergej Trifunovic, Jelena Gavrilovic, Katarina Zutic, Slobodan Bestic, Ana Sakic, Lena Bogdanovic, Luka Mijatovic and Andjela Nenadovic. 'Milos is a retired porn star leading a normal family life with his wife Maria and six-year old son Petar in tumultuous Serbia, trying to make ends meet. Aware of his problems, Layla, a former co-star, introduces Milos to Vukmir,...

Written by Srdjan Spasojevic and Aleksandar Radivojevic
Featuring Srdjan Todorovic, Sergej Trifunovic, Jelena Gavrilovic, Katarina Zutic, Slobodan Bestic, Lena Bogdanovic
A Serbian Film is supposed to be the most incredibly horrific film experience of this decade. Why am I not impressed, then?
Okay, maybe it’s because I’m jaded. The only films that have had any real effect on my psyche this decade are Irreversible, The Stoning of Soraya M, and 2 Girls 1 Cup. Those films made me stop and think about the violence and gave me a horrific rush of emotional and mental turmoil. And those aren’t even horror movies. I really get a kick out of sick movies; the gorier, the better, so I was extremely excited to see A Serbian Film, the latest thing out of the once-communist, now-democratic, self-deprecating nation that was once a part of Yugoslavia in Eastern Europe being...

The UK's most amazing horror film festival Film4 FrightFest has released what could very well be another one of the best horror line-ups we've seen ever for its latest show taking place from Thursday the 26th of August to Monday the 30th of August, brimming with films we've been salivating over Stateside!
From the Press Release
This year there are eight British films in the main programme (another record) including Monsters, Gareth Edwards’ sensational post-Apocalyptic debut, The Ford Brothers’ Cannes-hyped African Zombie flick The Dead and Johannes Roberts F – in which a school gets a lesson in horror! Other home-grown titles are Dead Cert (East-End gangsters meet Eastern European vampires), Isle Of Dogs (nasty gangland horror), Paul Andrew Williams’ harrowing Cherry Tree Lane and werewolf thriller 13Hrs. Plus, Jake West will be presenting his in-depth documentary Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship And Videotape, which will be followed by a Q & A panel discussion.

FrightFest continues its strong relationship with Adam Green by hosting the world premiere of the sequel to his 2006 slasher sensation. Picking up right where the splatter-tastic original ended, Marybeth escapes the clutches of the deformed, swamp-dwelling iconic killer Victor Crowley. After learning the truth about her family's connection to the hatchet-wielding madman, Marybeth returns to the Louisiana swamps along with an army of hunters to recover the bodies of her family and exact the bloodiest revenge against the bayou butcher. Delivering unapologetically unrestrained gushers of gore,...
