Another round of stills from this year’s Film 4 FrightFest that should entice both Clive Barker fans and you ever-so-hungry fans of the living dead!

First up a look at Anthony DeBlasi’s film version of Clive Barker’s Dread, which is playing the festival on Sunday, August 30th, at 9:00PM.

Synopsis
Adapted by writer/director Anthony DiBlasi from the Clive Barker novella in ‘Books of Blood Volume II’ this psychological horror tale is intense, grim and nasty – the shock ending the stuff of appalling nightmares. Three Boston college students join forces to helm a Kinsey-style documentary study on the subject of fear. But two of the unholy trio are unaware the third is haunted by past demons causing chilling sociopath behaviour and a driven need to explore people’s innermost terrors to extreme limits.

Next up are stills from the French zombie opus The Horde, which will be playing the festival on Friday, August 28th, at 9:40PM.

Synopsis
From executive producer Xavier Gens (FRONTIER(S)’ director) comes another major shock to the action horror system. In order to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, four corrupt Paris cops go on a rampage. Then the unimaginable occurs. Hordes of rage-fueled zombies suddenly appear. Let the End of Days battle begin between cops, gangsters and the Living Dead in a world with no future.
