There was blood. There always is. But this year’s FrightFest proved again just how much more there is to the horror genre than hosing hemoglobin.
Rounding up 72 movies from around the globe and packing them all into five days of magical mayhem, the UK’s leading genre festival gave us everything from serial killers, ghosts, and zombies to ghastly mythical creatures, soul-chilling visions of eternal damnation, and realities that splintered before our saucered eyes. There was even a severed tongue infected with herpes, should you wish to ogle such a thing.
But enough of the babbling. It’s time to get down to business. So, let us, as ever, celebrate the best of the fest. Yep, it’s that time of year again – the time for the Total Film FrightFest Awards…
