FRIGHT FEST 13

The opening of Fright Fest in Leicester Square saw the world premier of The Seasoning House, Paul Hyett’s directorial debut sees Rosie Day as Angel, an orphaned girl who is enslaved to care for young girls who are prostituted to the military. The sound design and music created by composer Paul E Francis.

“The death scenes are tightly shot and uncomfortable to watch, and Rosie Day’s performance is remarkable. The eighteen year old actress is totally convincing as Angel, having to use all her wits and ingenuity to try and escape from this situation with her life. Without being able to speak a single word, she has the audience’s attention and sympathy from the first moment she appears on screen. Every extra minute she stays alive, every assailant she evades, every psychotic she kills, is a triumph. And the ending is quite brilliant.” – Movie Ramblings

“Equally clear, is that 18-year-old Rosie Day has a long screen career ahead of her, as she effortlessly carries the entire film on her slight shoulders, without ever uttering a single line of dialogue.” – Twitch Film

Fright Fest also sees the release of Cockneys Vs Zombies featuring Harry Treadaway and Razmus Hardiker as part of a gang of bank robbers who fight their way out of a zombie infested London.
