Friday
The Razor Reel Fantastic Film Festival started on Friday with a fun film quiz hosted by Zeno Pictures and RRFFF.
I'll be hosting several Q&A sessions with filmmakers at the Razor Reel Fantastic Film Festival the following two weekends. Here are the trailers of the movies I will be talking about. Come by and say hello if you have the chance.
In 2011, the Razor Reel Fantastic Film Festival buzzed with The Dead, a zombie movie set against the open spaces of Africa. This year, the Ford brothers return with a sequel that takes the action to India and ramps up the action, violence, and drama. Directors Howard and Jonathan Ford will answer questions about their movie at their Q&A session on October 26.
Several years ago, Richard Stanley (Dust Devil, Hardware) had an inexplicable experience in the French locality of Montségur. Its impact made the filmmaker decide to return to the area and shoot a feature-length documentary about the esoteric mysteries there. I will host a Q&A session on The Otherworld on October 27 and will be joined by director Richard Stanley and composer Simon Boswell.
For more than a year, director Kate Shenton filmed several groups of people who pierce themselves with hooks and hang in mid-air from rigs. On Tender Hooks explores a wide variety of experiences and opinions on the subject and shows us how the human body can achieve extraordinary things. Shenton will be present for the screening and Q&A of her documentary on November 1st.
I'll be spending the rest of the month in Bruges to give an introduction to several horror movies at the Razor Reel Fantastic Film Festival RRFFF. Come and stop by if you're around. Here are the trailers of the films I will be talking about...

One night, when they invite their best friend Gal and his new girlfriend Fiona, everything escalates into a huge fight. When they talk it over, Gal offers a solution to all their misery. A job, like they often used to do in the past. A contract, a few kills, some easy money. What begins as a routine job, soon turns into a descent into hell. Who put out the hit?

Bruges is known for its attractive buildings and canals, but also for the Razor Reel Fantastic Film FestivalRRFFF. I had the chance to do a q&a for my latest story of survival horror, THE STRANGERS OUTSIDE, and the film that has been made out of it. Also present were director Philippe Geus, actor Pierre Lekeux, actress Iulia Alexandra Nastase, and one of the creepy monks from the story. It was the first time we showed some rushes of the yet unfinished film to the audience.
The Strangers Outside is the about two sisters who return to their remote holiday cottage after a day at the seaside. But little do they know they're being surrounded. Soon after their arrival, the girls will come face to face with THE STRANGERS OUTSIDE. When the assailants make their intentions known, things take a shockingly terrible turn and an intense battle for survival will begin.
