Home-grown Horror at Frightfest
Two NZ films made the line-up for this year’s Frightfest, the UK’s leading fantasy and horror film festival. “Ovine horror comedy” Black Sheep and “the unclassifiable – and absolutely hilarious” The Devil Dared Me To both screened to packed houses at London’s Odeon West End theatre, August 23-27. Black Sheep is the debut feature from writer/director Jonathan King, while The Devil Dared Me To comes courtesy of Chris Stapp, the brains behind NZ comedy series Back of the Y.
