Interview conducted by Nia Edwards-Behi Kiss of the Damned seems to be a film that has thoroughly split opinion, with some falling for the sumptuous Euro-sleaze stylings of the vampire drama, while others have found this particular mode dull and self-indulgent. I’m very much one of the former – everything about the film endears me […]
By Keri O’Shea It’s no real secret that I’m a big fan of director Adam Mason’s work, so when I was offered the chance to take a look at Adam and long-standing writing partner Simon Boyes’ latest film, Junkie, of course I said yes. I’ll be posting my review of the film very soon, but […]
Interview by Keri O’Shea Artist Robin Bougie has been wreaking his awesome graphic havoc on the world for many years now. His magazine, Cinema Sewer, combines a healthy love of good ol’ fashioned smut with film reviews, articles and retrospectives, all topped off with that inimitable cartoon artwork. As we wait on the release of […]
By Keri O’Shea You’re never going to be short of horror festivals to attend in the UK these days, but when it comes to longevity then Edinburgh’s Dead By Dawn Festival is in a league of its own. As the festival prepares to celebrate its twentieth year of operation – with none other than special […]
Interview conducted by Nia Edwards-Behi In case you missed it before, read Nia’s interview with Midnight Son director Scott Leberecht. Midnight Son is a film about a young man who may – or may not – be a vampire, played with wonderful restraint by Zak Kilberg. Kilberg’s angular features make him a perfect fit for […]

It doesn’t happen very often, not these days, but it seems to me that with Midnight Son Scott Leberecht has achieved exactly that. It’s been a long […]
By Keri O’Shea It’s always a pleasure for us at Brutal as Hell to get to talk to indie directors about their work; it’s important too, because as often as we deal with the finished product here at the site, it pays to dig a little deeper sometimes and think about the motivations of the […]
Interview conducted by Ben Bussey Everything you’ve read is true: the Soska Sisters love to hug. And, good grief, they really hug you. As soon as we were introduced in the Sheffield Showroom Cinema’s green room, just prior to that evening’s screening of American Mary, Jen and Sylvia Soska both darted in my direction and took turns squeezing […]
Interview by Keri O’Shea I think I speak for all of us in the Brutal As Hell team who have seen this movie when I say that Some Guy Who Kills People has made a big impact on us. If there was ever proof positive that a good film can revisit familiar horror tropes and […]
Interview conducted by Ben Bussey If there’s one breed of movie monster that’s never going anywhere, it’s the vampire. That time-honoured balance of sex and death has long kept them popular both within and without horror fandom, and I can’t see that changing anytime soon. One of the most recent fang-flicks to reach the UK […]
Interview conducted by Ben Bussey Michael Biehn’s The Victim just had its UK premiere at FrightFest, and is set to hit DVD and Blu-ray on both sides of the Atlantic in the next few weeks. Thanks to this we were able to catch a few words with Biehn and Blanc-Biehn, the husband and wife team […]
