Last weekend was the annual Film4 FrightFest at the Glasgow GFT cinema, Scotland, in the city centre. This was my second year attending the festival and I was not disappointed.
A collection of 11 new films from a variety of directors (known and relatively unknown alike) were shown over the 2 days.
There were freebies (although I didn't manage to snag any this year) and tee-shirts (£15) which I sadly had neglected to order beforehand.
Directors, including Ti West, came along to watch and discuss their new films (Mr. West was also spotted on-and-off throughout the rest of the festival).
Q&As were had, cheering was rife and the riotous giggling of many horror fans enjoying a bloody on-screen explosion was a delight to behold.
Our hosts, as usual, gave an excellent show. Everything ran on time and the GFT's relocation of the bar to just behind the screen was an inspired idea.
I'll follow this up with some reviews, but not all at once... One of these years I'll venture down to London for the full FrightFest experience!
In fact the only disappointment after last year was that there was nothing quite as good as "Hellfjord" being shown in-between films!
