Frightfest 2017 Day Four

Bad Match


          In which a guy's life of casual internet dating starts to go horribly wrong when he hooks up with a girl who won't be brushed off so easily. A fine start to Day Four from writer-director David Chirchirillo (CHEAP THRILLS) this has a plot that twists and turns and he demonstrates a fine sleight of hand in keeping you guessing as to what might actually be happening. Recommended.


Blood From the Mummy's Tomb




          Studio Canal have newly restored a number of classic Hammer Horrors and this was one. I love this film & have already written extensively about it here, so instead I'll just leave you with one of the many pictures taken outside the cinema of myself (as Aubrey Morris), our friends Chris (Corbeck) and Dave (some terrific set dressing there, Dave) and last but definitely not least, Mrs Probert as Margaret / Tera:

Thanks to Maura McHugh for this pic!











Mayhem




          Joe Lynch's mad office movie uses a short-lived virus as its reason to allow havoc to ensue at a corporate law specialists. Derek Cho (Steven Yeun) gets sacked just as the virus infects the skyscraper where he works and so he decides to find out if he can get to the top (both literally and figuratively) by means of good old-fashioned violence.
