Exposed

Exposed told me to write 250 words for them..

Celluloid Screams is an event that takes over the Showroom Cinema from the 22nd-24th October to get us all ready for Halloween. They pride themselves in the unseen horror films by film makers from all around the world and have a tendency to show independent work as well as the big budget horror’s we all know and love. In the time before this event, the Showroom are screening double bills of Horror films, this allows for us cult followers to be completely submerged in the world of gore, guts and screams. I attended a screening of Rec/Rec 2 recently, Rec, a low budget Spanish horror film that takes documentary horror to another level, in the break between the two I had to keep looking over my shoulder and have a sit down to make my limbs work again. Consequentially the walk back to the screening room was a long and some what painful expedition and when the lights went out, I already felt my heart beating faster than those Zombies can run. Rec 2 is a sequel even scarier than it’s predecessor, an impressive feat in a genre so full of terrible remakes and re releases. This event left me shook up for a good few hours and I imagine the next few will not disappoint. Horror geeks and foreign film fans should be queuing up to see what the next event has to offer, just keep reminding yourself, ‘it’s only a film, it’s only a film.’
