The line up for this year's FrightFest event has now been finalised, with a total of 22 films screening over the August Bank Holiday weekend at the Odeon West End.
The festival will kick off by showing all four of George A. Romero's Dead movies, Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, Day Of The Dead and Land Of The Dead, with the director in attendance.
Asian films are represented by Paul Spurrier's P (as previewed on this site), Takashi Shimizu's Marebito, Panna Rittikrai's Born To Fight, Kim Jee-wong's A Bittersweet Life and Inoue Yasuo's Neighbour No. 13.
There's a strong international programme with previews of Christian Alvart's Antibodies (Germany), Timur Bekmambetov's Nightwatch (Russia), Greg McLean's Wolf Creek (Australia) and Dario Argento's Do You Like Hitchcock? (Italy).
Paul Schrader's Dominion: A Prequel To The Exorcist will get a special screening, and there are other American indie movies in the form of Ti West's The Roost, Tim Sullivan's 2001 Maniacs, Ana Clavell & James Glen Dudelson's Day Of The Dead 2: Contagium, Anthony C. Ferrante's Boo! and Michael Constanza's The Collingswood Story.
And finally us Brits are represented by Jake West's Evil Aliens, Craig Strachan's Wild Country and Conor McMahon's Dead Meat.
In addition to the main features there will also be the usual mix of short films, trailers, special guests, goodie bags and - new for this year - a film quiz and awards ceremony! Phew!
I'm guessing the zombies on screen won't be the only walking undead in the cinema after we've sat through that lot...
