In his latest interview/podcast, host Stuart Wright speaks with filmmaker and author Sean Hogan about a book he’s written about one of the best British horror films ever made – Death Line (1972). Or does it have more in common with the American New Wave of horror that exploded in the 70s with the likes of Night Of The Living Dead and Last House On The Left?
Despite an increasing amount of critical support and high profile fans Gary Sherman’s Death Line remains something of an anomaly in British Horror Cinema, an ugly duckling; its face doesn’t quite fit. Made on a shoestring budget in early 1972, its initial reviews were divided, the Daily Mail called it ‘a sick and sick-making film’. Despite a successful London run, the film seemed destined to be an eccentric but mostly forgotten genre footnote (it was recut and retitled as Raw Meat in America). And yet,...

For many, Christmas is an annual celebration of goodwill and joy, but for others, it’s a time to curl up on the couch in the dead of winter for a good old fashioned fright. The festive holiday season has always included a more somber side, and scary tales of child-stealing demons to ghost stories told ‘round the fireplace go back to pre-Christian celebrations. These long-standing traditions have found modern expression in Christmas horror film and television shows, a unique and sometimes controversial subgenre that cheerfully drives a stake of holly through the heart of cherished Christmas customs.
Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror on Film and Television, the latest book by Canadian micro-publisher Spectacular Optical, offers a definitive, in-depth exploration of the history of these subversive film and television presentations that allow viewers to engage in different ways with the complicated cultural history of the Christmas season.

Two hot TV projects, an environmental zombie and an unhinged park ranger were among highlights at the eighth edition of the horror market.
Frontières International Co-Production Market continued to showcase its growth at Fantasia International Film Festival as it kicked off its eighth edition on Thursday [July 21].
Earlier this year, the genre market announced a new partnership with the Marché du Film at Cannes, and the popularity of its pitching session at Fantasia meant that it moved to the festival’s bigger venue to accommodate the growing industry interest.
This edition’s 20 projects also saw the market’s remit expand to include two television projects for the first time.
House Of Psychotic Women from Rook Films, behind the likes of Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers and Peter Strickland’s The Duke Of Burgundy, is based on horror critic Kier-La Janisse’s acclaimed memoir.

“Australia lends itself to the road movie,” reflects the author of a forthcoming new book on Aussie/Kiwi cult and genre movies. “The cities and the outback are so sparsely populated. The road-movie scenery is so much more iconic than any country I can think of.”
He might have added that the particular road movies the Antipodeans produced have often carried violent overtones – whether the brooding menace of murder committed in the desolate outback, or the post-apocalyptic pile-ups of the Mad Max series.
As Australia’s Road Warrior returns to the screen (in May 2015), and Tom Hardy hits Fury Road, let’s take a historical trip down those brooding byways that belie the laidback nature of our ‘ocker’ cousins…

The UK’s Horror Channel is set to showcase three of David Cronenberg’s most defining films with a season that can’t fail to shock and awaken the senses. Shivers, Rabid and The Dead Zone all receive their Horror Channel premieres, exclusively introduced by top horror directors Simon Rumley (Red White & Blue), Sean Hogan (The Devil’s Playground) and Pascal Laugier (Martyrs). Sat Jan 12 @ 22:55 The season kicks off with the premiere of Shivers (1975), Cronenberg’s debut full-length feature that helped coined the phrase ‘Body Horror’. The infectious plot sees a parasite enter the bodies of people living in a Montreal apartment block and consequently turns them into libido driven, sex mad zombies. Clearly a fan of the genre, Cronenberg cast the unforgettable Hammer Horror siren Barbara Steele in what was to become one of the most iconic scenes in the film.

Stars: Jack Gordon, Billy Clarke, Jonathan Hansler, Harry Miller | Written and Directed by Sean Hogan
Some of the most powerful films come from a well written story, good direction and above all believable characters. They don’t rely on huge special effects, they don’t even have to have many settings, like a play in a theatre they can simply have a few rooms and a script that pulls you into the plot and leaves you begging for more. The Devil’s Business is one of those and for the most part does what it sets out to do very well indeed.
