FrightFest 2010 Tweets

I'm psyching myself up for FrightFest 2011 already, so in preparation I thought I'd collect together all of my between-movie tweets from last year. Read them from bottom to top for chronological order.


Heading to the Phoenix in a bit. Say hello if you see me. Tall guy with glasses. Sad #frightfest is over. See y'all next year!!

»


Video nasties doc/panel highly enjoyable, how could people go that bonkers? The Dead beautifully made but a bit underwhelming. #frightfest

»


The Loved Ones a unique and hilarious take on the 'torture porn' subgenre. A good day at #frightfest

»


Buried is fantastic. One of the best of the fest. Tense, claustrophobic as hell and shot like an action film. Highly recommended.#frightfest

»


This RT @Meanbobs:Damned by Dawn showed promise for about 15 mins before suffocating it with a plethora of school disco effects. #frightfest

»


The Pack was original, average. short films a good laugh (papa wrestling + rise of the appliances). We Are What We Are effective #frightfest

»


Mystery 'spanish' film replacing A Serbian Film. Director of Buried is Spanish... #frightfest #baselessrumors

»


I Spit on Your Grave remake was excellent. Monsters was genuinely moving. Dream Home was gory/funny, perfect midnight movie fare #frightfest

@
@TheFreekish I spit on your grave and Monsters highlights of the day timmy!! Dream Home also very good.

»


#frightfest I spit on your grave: most psyched I've been coming out of a film so far. Truly a roaring rampage of retribution.

»


Cherry tree lane: Tense home invasion horror. The Tortured: laughable Saw wannabe. 13 Hours: surprisingly watchable werewolves. #frightfest

@
@TheFreekish yeah man, [A Serbian Film] was one I was looking forward to. Westminster council won't allow it to be shown uncut. :( :( :(


»


@
@TheFreekish cherry tree lane, the tortured, 13 hours, I spit on your grave remake, monsters and dream home. A good day!!

#frightfest day 2 over. Wound was truly nuts. Red Hill was excellent aussie-western fun and AvN was better than AvP.

»


Looking like mixed tweets on F. I'll weigh in and say I enjoyed it. Strong central performance and some good tension. #frightfest

»


Texas Chainsaw was intense as expected. Waiting for Tobe Hooper Q&A to start at #frightfest someone ask him WTF happened in eggshells...

»

Eggshells was a visual, aural and psychological assault. Loved every minute! Roll on Texas Chainsaw! #frightfest

»

(head) smashing fun in Primal. What was up with cave-cock though? #frightfest

»

Hatchet 2. Suitably crowd-pleasing way to start #frightfest 2010. Hodder vs. Todd.

It's been a while, gang. Let's do some quick reviews. I'll try to keep them to one sentence because I have a short attention span. Horrible Bosses 'King of Kong' director does good comedy, good chemistry between the main cast and the titular bosses are hilarious. The Devil's Double I like Dominic Cooper but his performances here were weak, rest of the cast also a bit crap, poor showing overall. Captain America Middle of the road Marvel movie, nothing to write home about, some of the CG was pretty shonky. Harry Potter 7(b) Some deliciously OTT performances (Snape and Voldy) and some good, dark imagery, one of the better entries in the series. Transformers 3 Say what you will; Bay can direct a thrilling action sequence, vapid pornography but I wallowed in it gladly. Super 8 A fantastic nostalgia trip, 'ET' meets 'Aliens' with a dash of 'The Goonies' thrown in for good measure. Bad Teacher Not as -bad- as the trailer wo

A few months since I've done one of these so let's get to it. I've got a lot to get through. Happy Feet 2 I was reminded watching this film as to why I quite enjoyed the first Happy Feet. It's just so bizarre, nonsensical and unlike anything else out there that you can't help but smile and the funny dancing penguins. Add to that incredible visuals and two 'krill' characters that only seem to exist to make crustacean-based puns and you're on to a winner. In Time A thought provoking concept with some great world building. Some of the visuals were excellent but some were distractingly bad (the car crash). The relationship between the two leads went in an unexpected direction too. Passably entertaining on the whole. Contagion Possibly the first 'horror' film to ever cause me to modify my behaviour in day to day life. Little by way of character development, the film seems to be designed to show as realistically as possible what would happen

My, has it been two months already? Time sure does fly when you spend all your time in hot-tubs with super-models and playing shuffleboard on cruise-ships. Resurrect Dead This obscure documentary might be the best film I've seen since my last update, it follows a group of young men and women who are obsessed with solving the mystery the Toynbee asphalt tiles that appear all over the world. I won't reveal whether they figure it out or not but the journey is absolutely fascinating and the subjects' excitement is infectious. Chronicle Found footage movie in which a group of teenage boys stumble upon some sort of artifact that imbues them with psychic abilities. There were some great character moments here thanks to the script by Max Landis and some creative twists on the found footage angle but unfortunately the film is hampered by it's lack of budget. Overall, a pretty fun time but nothing spectacular. Woman In Black Harry Potter dresses as a grown up and is t
