8 Films To Die For


Sadly, this Horrorfest is only going to be available in the US at first. Boo! However, I'm sure that sooner or later we'll get a glipse this side of the pond. After Dark Films are running a weekend Horrorfest that will feature 8 new horror movies.
We'll take a look at each of them -
