About this episode
An interview with Paul McEvoy discussing FrightFest 2018 and its film lineup.
We are very proud to present our very first interview - and what an interview it was - with PAUL McEVOY. Paul is one of the organisers of FrightFest, the biggest genre festival in the UK. Hear his thoughts on this year’s lineup and what we should be watching, such as THE RANGER, UPGRADE, TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID, CLIMAX and much more. Plus his honest opinions on why big studios won’t show their films at FrightFest, current horror trends, why Frightfest doesn’t just show horror movies, why some movies are more divisive than others and much more. Even if you’ve never heard of FrightFest, you will still be enthralled and entertained for all 60 minutes!
