FRIGHTFEST REVIEWS
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR SOME EXTREMELY EXCITING AND ENTERTAINING REVIEWS
BAD KARAOKE
A cursed karaoke machine provides much in the way of blood and laughs as an unwitting covers band discover they have to sing for their lives. Steven West reviews this blood drenched, singalong comedy which just received its world premiere at Tubi London FrightFest.
GATOR FACE
A bunch of unsuspecting teenagers come face to face with an axe-wielding maniac wearing an alligators face in GATOR FACE. Iain MacLeod reviews this pleasingly unpretentious slasher throwback that willingly and lovingly indulges all the tropes of the sub-genre in pleasingly bloody and nasty fashion.
THE GLORIOUS DEAD
The Adams Family return with a doom laden tale set at the end of the world, where a grieving Sheriff struggles to deal with an increasingly Hellish day where the dead won’t stay dead, fleshy monsters stalk the woods and no-one can get a cup of coffee. Iain MacLeod reviews yet another distinctive film from the most reliable family in horror that is as funny as it is doom-laden.
MEAT KILLS
A naïve young animal rights activist finds herself caught between a radical army of activists and a vengeful pig farmer when a midnight protest spirals into a bloody nightmare. Martijn Smits’ unsettling horror turns the tables on both sides, creating a disturbing world where humans and animals are equally savage and disposable. Nina Romain reviews this graphic and thought-provoking Dutch horror that guarantees you’ll never look at a bacon butty the same way again.
GHOST IN THE CELL
A vengeful spectre stalks a corrupt Indonesian prison in Joko Anwar’s gleefully gory mix of extreme horror, absurdist comedy, political satire and unexpected dance numbers. Iain MacLeod reviews one of the festival’s most inventive, outrageous and accessible films, which delivers both skin-crawling scares and spectacular splatter.
HOME BODIES
A young brother and sister raised entirely within the confines of a futuristic house begin to question not only the nature of their existence, but each other as well in Casey Walker’s small scale sci-fi fable with big ideas. Iain MacLeod reviews this impressive and paranoid futuristic drama that receives its international premiere at Tubi FrightFest.

SWEET VIOLENCE
A convicted killer released from prison attempts to rebuild his life while grieving families plot a brutal revenge, in this intense and darkly funny debut.

THE FLESH ITSELF
A trio of deserters from the Paraguayan War in the 1860’s find themselves hiding out in vast wooden shack where the owner, a cruel lopsided figure of a man seemingly toys with them while keeping his own terrible secret locked away. Iain MacLeod reviews this beautifully shot and carefully paced film that erupts into a ferocious squirm inducing horror with a killer surprise at the end.
THE ALICE PARADOX
When a physicist takes a forbidden journey through a wormhole, she’s forced to question everything she knows about the universe and herself. Robyn Fraser reviews the mesmerising, thoughtful and ambitious sci-fi that explores space, time, free will and human happiness on an intimate scale, receiving its World premiere at Tubi FrightFest
HOARDER
Community nurses Melissa and Eric arrive at a derelict farmhouse to give flu vaccinations, but quickly discover there’s something far more sinister among the clutter. Robyn Fraser reviews the cleverly plotted and genuinely disturbing horror that finds terror in poverty, isolation and the wreckage of a once-happy life, receiving its World premiere at Tubi FrightFest.
ITHAQUA
This wintry period horror detailing a fur trapper, played by Luke Hemsworth, facing an old, bloodthirsty evil in the Canadian wilderness receives its World Premiere at Tubi FrightFest. Iain MacLeod reviews an ambitious horror that impresses with both its period stylings and gory horror elements.
DEAD RESET
Stewart Sparke’s practical effects and gore soaked adaptation of his time loop video game receives its world premiere at Tubi FrightFest.
