The UK FrightFest is returning to London’s Cineworld Leicester Square and the Prince Charles Cinema from August 25 – August 29.
The festival opens with the World premiere of The Lair, an action-packed “gore shocker” from Neil Marshall, who calls his latest monstrous creation “The Dirty Half Dozen meets The Thing”. Neil will be attending with star Charlotte Kirk and will also introduce a special 4K restoration screening of his modern classic, Dog Soldiers.
The closing night film is the European premiere of Scott Mann’s Fall, a pulse-pounding, vertigo-inducing experience as two best friends, stranded at the top of a remote, abandoned 2000-feet high radio tower, fight for survival.
The Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX has a presence there. Not only is Damien Leone’s Terrifier 2 set to screen ahead of our fall theatrical release, but our kickass rocking gore-fest PussyCake will screen alongside the newly acquired title Deep Fear, Grégory Beghin’s survival horror that takes place in the catacombs where an experimental nazi and his zombie dog reside.
Passes are on sale Sat. July 16th at noon; single tickets Sat. July 23 at noon.

In the film…
“Sergeant Tom Hook is tasked with leading a command to find Lt. Kate Sinclair, a Royal Air Force fighter pilot shot down in Afghanistan. Sinclair, pursued by insurgents, finds refuge in a long-abandoned secret bunker and unwittingly releases a deadly man-made biological weapon – half-human, half-alien and hungry for human flesh – the Ravagers.
“Hook and his team, accompanied by a handful of British SAS troops must save Sinclair from the insurgents, and more importantly from the Ravagers before they overrun the area and potentially the world.”
