[FrightFest UK] Neil Marshall’s ‘The Lair’ to World Premiere; SCREAMBOX’s ‘PussyCake’ and ‘Deep Fear’!
The UK FrightFest is returning to London’s Cineworld Leicester Square and the Prince Charles Cinema from August 25 – August 29.
The festival opens with the World premiere of The Lair, an action-packed “gore shocker” from Neil Marshall, who calls his latest monstrous creation “The Dirty Half Dozen meets The Thing”. Neil will be attending with star Charlotte Kirk and will also introduce a special 4K restoration screening of his modern classic, Dog Soldiers.
The closing night film is the European premiere of Scott Mann’s Fall, a pulse-pounding, vertigo-inducing experience as two best friends, stranded at the top of a remote, abandoned 2000-feet high radio tower, fight for survival.
The Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX has a presence there. Not only is Damien Leone’s Terrifier 2 set to screen ahead of our fall theatrical release, but our kickass rocking gore-fest PussyCake will screen alongside the newly acquired title Deep Fear, Grégory Beghin’s survival horror that takes place in the catacombs where an experimental nazi and his zombie dog reside.
Passes are on sale Sat. July 16th at noon; single tickets Sat. July 23 at noon.

In the film…
“Sergeant Tom Hook is tasked with leading a command to find Lt. Kate Sinclair, a Royal Air Force fighter pilot shot down in Afghanistan. Sinclair, pursued by insurgents, finds refuge in a long-abandoned secret bunker and unwittingly releases a deadly man-made biological weapon – half-human, half-alien and hungry for human flesh – the Ravagers.
“Hook and his team, accompanied by a handful of British SAS troops must save Sinclair from the insurgents, and more importantly from the Ravagers before they overrun the area and potentially the world.”
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
