ANOH ONE OF MOVIEMAKER MAGAZINE'S "EIGHT GREAT FESTS"
|
The latest issue (no. 76) of MovieMaker Magazine includes A Night of Horror International Film Festival amongst "eight great fests" of the spring 2008 festival circuit.
The article quotes Kevin Tenney, whose sensational zombie film BRAIN DEAD won Best Film, and Best Special Make-up Effects at the 2008 festival (as well as "Best Scream Queen" for the film's lead actress Tess McVicker). Tenney describes A Night of Horror as "a well-organised, good-sized festival that actually sought out independent horror instead of the Milquetoast, homogenised studio films that pass as 'horror' these days."
Writer/Director Paul Campion, whose most recent short film - the breathtaking EEL GIRL - won best visual effects at the 2008 festival, is also interviewed in the piece. According to Campion "the feedback and exposure from A Night of Horror was so good… the organizers are really passionate about horror films and horror filmmaking in general, and as a filmmaker attending the festival they’re incredibly supportive and welcoming".

The Strangers in Australian Cinemas from August 18!
Lock the doors. Assume you're safe.
The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family's vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on February 11, 2005, are still not entirely known.
Champagne. Rose petals. Candlelight. It was supposed to be a night of celebration for Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman). But after leaving a friend's wedding reception and returning to the house, everything had collapsed for the happy couple.
Then came a 4 a.m. knock on the door and a haunting voice.
Is Tamara here?
Writer/director Bryan Bertino explores our most universal fears in
The Strangers, a terrifying suspense thriller about a couple whose remote getaway becomes a place of terror when masked strangers invade. The confrontation forces Kristen and James to go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to survive.
If you were a "fiend of the festival" you'd be seeing this for free! Join now for similar great horror freebies throughout the year!
