‘A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio’ Review: Dirs. Miscellaneous [Frightfest Glasgow]

A group of Scots pals were left stunned when they realised they'd been photobombed by one of the UK's top comedians at the weekend.

Piers Morgan has hit out at TV presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly after they made "disrespectful" comments about him on Saturday Night Takeaway over the weekend.

Joe Begos’ Bliss was one of the most talked about films of last summer’s Arrow Video Frightfest. The film was a modern take on the vampire genre and followed a drug-fuelled artist on a spiral into blood-lust. It’s been barely six months and Begos is already back at Frightfest – this time the Glasgow event – with his follow-up VFW. 

A softly spoken palliative nurse, Maud (Morfydd Clark), moves into the house of a famous terminally ill dancer, Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), to help make her more comfortable in her last days. Although initially at odds, the pair soon strike up a close bond. After Maud reveals her intentions to save Amanda’s soul, this bond fractures, and Maud (with the help of God) must do everything in her power to save her charge.

After Bong Joon-ho’s success with Parasite, South Korean cinema is pretty hot right now. It’s the perfect time therefore for Arrow Films to have acquired another potential South Korean hit – Zombie For Sale.

Last summer André Øvredal released Scary Stories to Tell in Dark, now comes The Mortuary Collection, an anthology film that taps into that same dark energy. Told in more of a portmanteau style than a simple anthology, The Mortuary Collection begins in a funeral home as a young woman, Sam (Caitlin Custer), responds to a Help Wanted ad.
