PROGRAMME = SCREEN 1

THURSDAY AUG 27

6.30pm HATCHET II (World Premiere)

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, HATCHET II is everything you loved about the original – only darker, funnier and on shocker steroids.

90 mins Director: Adam Green USA 2010

9.15pm PRIMAL (World Premiere)

Primordial nature runs amuck in a smartly played spectacular slice of neo Ozploitation. 12,000 years ago a caveman tried to communicate the presence of an unknown primal entity only to be devoured by the Neanderthal evil. Now six friends on a field trip set up camp in the same remote wilderness. But when one takes a dip in a nearby waterhole terror descends on the remainder as they realise its kill or be killed. A frenzied visceral nightmare, PRIMAL is a hugely enjoyable rollercoaster ride through primitive panic with the best one word ending ever!

FRIDAY AUG 28

TOTAL ICON: TOBE HOOPER

Total Film Magazine have joined forces with FrightFest to introduce a new attraction to this year’s festival. It’s called ‘Total Icon’ and will celebrate the career of living legend Tobe Hooper.  As well as showing Tobe’s ferocious 1974 masterpiece THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE on the big screen, we will be unveiling his rarely seen, restored and re-mastered 1969 debut, EGGSHELLS. And that’s not all: there will be a 45-minute onstage Q&A with the great man himself, here visiting the UK for the first time in 18 years.

10.45am EGGSHELLS (Total Icon Retrospective)

Director Tobe Hooper’s little seen and long thought lost debut feature is now a must-see hippy trippy head space fantasy time capsule containing many portents of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE to come. Hooper: “It’s a real movie about 1969, kind of verite but with a little push, improvisation mixed with magic. It was about the beginning and end of the subculture. Most of it takes place in a commune house. But what they don’t know is that in the basement is a crypto-embryonic hyper-electric presence that managed to influence the house and the people in it. The presence has embedded itself in the walls and grows into this big bulb, half-electronic, half organic. Almost like an eye, but like a big light, it comes out of the wall, manipulating and animating. I’ve always described it as being a mixture of Andy Warhol’s TRASH and Walt Disney’s FANTASIA”.

1.00pm THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (Total Icon Retrospective)

Time has not dimmed the shock value of the seminal classic from director Tobe Hooper, based on the same real-life Ed Gein case that inspired PSYCHO. Only granted a certificate from the British Board of Film Classification for its 25th Anniversary release in 1999, this highly influential scream-filled chiller tells the story of five Texas hippies who encounter a family of murderous cannibals. Hooper masterfully uses documentary-style realism, coupled with the horror of anticipation and suggestion, to take the terror factor into stunning and disturbing areas. Made on a micro-budget that adds to the harsh tone, this razor-sharp nightmare began the power tool cult and brought Gunnar Hansen’s Leatherface to horror icon glory. But it’s the brutal accumulative effect of Hooper’s mater-of-fact direction that freezes the scalp and puts alarmed imagination on overdrive.

11.00am CHERRY TREE LANE (Preview)

CHERRY TREE LANE was Mary Poppins’ address, but there’s nothing remotely Disney about this cautionary tale from Paul Andrew Williams, director of the critically acclaimed LONDON TO BRIGHTON and THE COTTAGE. Christine and Mike are an ordinary middle-class couple living in what could be any house on any street. It’s an average evening as they prepare dinner, open a bottle of wine and bicker waiting for their teenage son, Sebastian, to come home from football. The doorbell rings. And the family’s nightmare begins. Tense, harrowing and disturbing, CHERRY TREE LANE is one address worth visiting if your nerves can stand it.

TOTAL FILM PRESENTS
8.45pm MONSTERS (Preview)

Director Gareth Edwards’ sensational debut is a provocative post-Apocalyptic parable and an all-round remarkable achievement.  Six years ago a NASA probe returning to Earth with samples of alien organisms crashed over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear there and half of Mexico was quarantined. Now the American and Mexican military struggle to contain the giant creatures. It’s through this perilous infected zone that a cynical journalist must escort his stranded boss’ daughter to U.S. border safety. MONSTERS is involving and satisfying as it is surprising and moving, something utterly unique, original and awe-inspiring.

Cheng Lai-sheung is an upwardly mobile professional happily working two jobs, finally ready to invest in her first home. But when the deal falls through on her luxury dream home she takes drastic action to keep her dream alive. DREAM HOME returns Hong Kong Cinema to a level of gratuitous violence not seen since the glory days of RIKI-OH! and THE UNTOLD STORY, and is the strongest Asian horror for ages.

But when Max goes missing at the La Spack truck-stop café and she investigates his disappearance, little does she realise she is being set up to take part in a ghastly, unholy ritual. Franck Richard’s debut feature follows in the sick and slick tradition of recent French fear fare with BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF star Emilie Dequenne and Gallic gore favourite Philippe Nahon acting their heads off.
