The full line-up for this year’s Film4 FrightFest has been released, and it’s another cracker of a programme.
Taking place at the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square between 25-29 August, the schedule contains a record 10 British films and horrors from all around the world – including Israel and Switzerland.
A total of 37 spine-tinglers are included in the event, with bloodthirsty topics including killer santas, troll hunting, carrot-wielding psychos and even a werewolf musical.
For 2011, we’re shoving our stamp of approval on gut-wrenching chiller Kill List (above), a British offering from Down Terrace director Ben Wheatley.
It follows an ex-soldier who's become a hitman, and heads off on a violent mission.
“Given to gloriously unpredictable, violent mood swings, Kill List is the best British genre film in some years,” says Jamie Graham, Deputy Editor of Total Film.
“Down Terrace announced director Ben Wheatley as One To Watch. Kill List ensures that Hollywood will now snap to attention too.”

15:05 The Total Film Interview
Larry Fessenden in conversation with Jamie Graham
Larry Fessenden is the most underrated American filmmaker working in horror today. His four features (No Telling, Habit, Wendigo, The Last Winter) have established the 48-year-old New Yorker’s inimitable brand of low-key, naturalistic scares, and his haunting work often exhibits heartfelt ecological concerns while featuring real people in recognisable surroundings – even when his protagonists are vampires.
Larry has also acted in nearly 50 films and produced 40-odd titles, including Ti West’s The Roost, The House of the Devil and, at FrightFest this year, The Innkeepers. Total Film looks forward to introducing the mysterious maven of mayhem to the FrightFest stage.
