The team from FrightFest return to the Glasgow Film Festival for its 21st year this March, and is bringing a cracking line-up with them. Running from Thursday, March 5th, to Saturday, March 7th.

FrightFest kicks off with a special world premiere of Jailbroken. Directed by Vasily Chuprina, it takes place entirely in a prison cell and stars David Hayman, Bryan Larkin, Shauna MacDonald, and Armin Karima. This screening is separate to the festival pass.

The event kicks off proper with the UK premiere of Bury the Devil. Next up is the world premiere of Howard J. Ford’s Bone Keeper. The UK premiere of David Kittredge’s documentary covering the notorious ‘bad’ sequel Exorcist II: The Heretic, Boorman and the Devil follows. The UK premiere of Glenn (I Sell the Dead) McQuaid’s sci-fi comedy The Restoration of Grayson Manor. Friday’s entertainment culminates with the UK premiere of Kenichi Ugana’s internet terror The Curse.

Saturday’s programme opens with the international premiere of Connor Marsden’s Violence. The Short Film Showcase is next, featuring eight great shorts from the UK and Ireland, with all the directors and select cast in attendance. The UK premiere of Jiro Nagae’s The Convenience Store follows, with the evening screenings starting with the world premiere of Craig Conway’s directorial debut, Red Riding, a new slant on the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale, executive produced by Neil Marshall. The new film from Aleksander Radivojević (co-writer of A Serbian Film), Karmadonna, gets its UK premiere next and the event closes with the Australian fantasy horror Deathkeeper, directed by Tristan Barr, based on the novella series by Vasilios Bouzas.

FrightFest co-director Alan Jones said: “For twenty-one years, FrightFest has joyfully programmed for collective gasps, laughs, screams and applause from our ever-supportive audiences within the Glasgow Film Festival. This year’s prime selection of unusual films will innovate, challenge, thrill and amaze as we platform both features and shorts from the most creative talents working in the genre”.
