UK FrightFest to host scary flicks across globe

Annual UK genre festival, FrightFest, has revealed collection of best scary movies hailing from the globe.

The line-up presents 20 world premieres such as the titles from the Soska Sisters' 'Rabid' and Tom Paton's 'Stairs'. 

'Stairs' follows a squad that find themselves trapped on a never-ending stairwell while 'Rabid' is re-imagining of a 1977 film.

'Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark' by André Øvredal and 'Crawl' from director Alexandre Aja were also in the lineup.

The 20th edition of FrightFest is held August 22-26 across two venues at London’s Cineworld Leicester Square and Prince Charles Cinema.

'Come To Daddy' by Ant Timpson will make its UK public debut and opens the film with Abner Pastoll’s dramatic crime story 'A Good Woman is Hard to Find' to bring this year's fest to a closure.

Arrow Video FrightFest, the Dark Heart of Cinema, is the UK's largest International genre film festival. The festival showcases the best horror.
