Patchwork is fucking awesome! It’s pretty much the binary opposite I was worried it might be from the trailer. Although it was billed as a comedy, the trailer still makes it look like it’s heavy with gore and the kinda pulling-women-apart-like-they’re-merely-a-collection-of-bits.

Telekinetic lovebirds vs. evil scientist in straightforward, enjoyable, eye-bleeding, head-exploding fun. Early Carpenter influenced style and kick-ass synth-heavy score, favourite Frightfest film so far.
Standard zombie apocalypse movie shot in video game first person shooter POV. Welcome just for the fast-paced action.
An attempt to make a possession movie played for the emotion rather than horror. The downside is it makes for rather slow and boring watching.
Gash B-movie Hexecutioners never really gets going with either atmosphere or tension. Seems to take forever to end.

And finishing with There Are Monsters, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers with added shakycam. It’s chief virtue is the pithy dialogue, an enjoyable watch.
A silly funny horror about a guy fusing to a clown costume and transforming into a child-eating demon.
An utterly silly film whose chief virtue is watching Ben Kingsley enjoy acting. Ben’s like, “Motherfucker I was Gandhi. Now I do Uwe Boll films and shit like this for the lols!”
A tense found footage horror/thriller about a cult, great example of the ilk of life-in-small-idyllic-towns-turns-on-a-dime.
