‘Boar’ and ‘Children of the Fall’ Headline the Inaugural Fractured Visions Film Festival
The inaugural Fractured Visions Film Festival is scheduled for September 29th & September 30th at TramShed in Cardiff, Wales. With the festival less than a month away, the official selections have finally been announced and it’s quite the doozy! 20 films — 10 features and 10 shorts — from all over the world will be playing over the two-day stretch, many of which will be making their UK premiere. Some of the most anticipated selections include the Australian creature feature Boar, Israeli slasher Childre of the Fall and the bloody madness that is Puppet Master: The Little Reich.
In addition to the many new films playing, the fest will also features two classics from director Norman J. Warren — Terror and Bloody New Year. Warren will also be in attendance to discuss his lengthy career in the world of horror. Tickets will go on sale in early September and can be purchased from the Fractured Visions website. The fest will feature a specially crafted Red Ale courtesy of the award winning brewery, Crafty Devil.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
