ABOUT THE FILM
Four unlikely partners. One festival. Twenty years of horror history.
When Alan Jones, Paul McEvoy, Ian Rattray, and Greg Day launched FrightFest in 2000, nobody could have predicted it would become one of the world’s leading genre film festivals. FrightFest: Beneath the Dark Heart of Cinema tells the story of how they built something remarkable from nothing, charting two decades of programming disputes, venue changes, and triumphant discoveries that turned a long weekend of horror films into a home for filmmakers and fans worldwide.
Director Chris Collier assembles a vast archive of footage alongside candid interviews with the organisers and a remarkable lineup of contributors, including Robert Englund, Eli Roth, Adam Green, and Joe Lynch. The result is a warts-and-all love letter to Britain’s favourite genre festival, as honest about the hard times as it is celebratory about what FrightFest has meant to everyone who has passed through its doors.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“A well put together documentary that will entertain FrightFest devotees as well as providing a real insight into the atmosphere of the festival for the uninitiated.”
“Made by the FrightFest audience, to be watched with the FrightFest audience. A love letter to Britain’s favourite genre festival.”
“If you love movies and love the experience of enjoying movies with like-minded people, this is something you will want to watch.”
