New Film Festival to Put the B In CamBridge

Published

on

Known for it’s educational establishments & being a beautiful bit of Great Britain, you’d normally associate Cambridge with posh accents & a trip punting on the river.  That’s all about to change as the history city is about to get trashed & spray day glo with the inaugural Extreme B Movie Festival.

We are proud to announce the first ever Cambridge

B-Movie film festival. This festival is born from our love of gory cheesy B-movies from the funny to the extreme.

Our selection this year is a little on the wild side with a nice balance of new and old along with a healthy bucket or two of blood.

B-movies have existed all the way through film history from the early silent days right up to recent times. With films being made for little or no budget the team involved often find creative ways to achieve results, which adds a quality found nowhere else.

From eggboxes lining space ship corridors to extras in giant rubber suits, all these fabulous touches add pure class to any feature.

With many of these B-movies and grindhouse films no longer seeing the light of day in a mainstream cinema, it has become extremely hard to view these movies in the correct setting.

This is why small film festivals like this must continue to be supported.

The selection we have chosen to show all come with an extreme warning, with many films not having a UK certification we have taken it upon ourselves to classify this whole event as strictly ADULTS ONLY.

WARNING

THESE FILMS CONTAIN STRONG SCENES OF VIOLENCE, SEX, NUDITY, PUPPETS, CORPORATE MANSLAUGHTER, BLOOD, CHAINSAWS, GORE, JESUS, MARTIAL ARTS, 80’S COMPUTERS, MUCK, HITLER, SYNTH POP, EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, VIKINGS, INFLATABLE COCODILES, DINOSAURS, CONDOMS, PLASTICINE….

Take a look at the films screening from August 19 – 23 as well as the amazing poster for the event.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
