We watched them, we cringed, and in the end, we shake our heads at Fangoria and their half-baked Frightfest.
It's a shame really, as Fangoria is the Holy Grail of horror print and happenings and has been for over 3 decades, and they seem to have picked some very lackluster films to slap their name on and promote. A few were good, a few were decent, but the majority of the Frightfest films were sub par and forgettable.
The verdict(s):
Fragile: B+
Grimm Love- B
Hunger- C
Dark House- C
Roadkill- D
Pig Hunt- D
The Tomb- Do Not Want.
The Haunting- Did not watch.
We didn't even watch The Haunting. We tried, but by the time we sat down to give it a go, all of our patience had been drained by the other movies we had to endure, and we turned it off about 20 minutes in and called it a day. It could rock, it could suck... we don't know, and right now, we don't care. That sounds shitty of us, but man, Fango really took the wind out of our collective sails with the FFF, and we are just finished.
If Fangoria does another round of the Frightfest in the future- which is bound to happen- we can only hope that they pick a group of better films than this one was, because frankly Tony Timpone and his crew is better than this.
