FESTIVAL OF FANTASTIC FILMS

Manchester (Official Selection/Possible Nomination)

We have been informed we are on the ‘Shortlist’ for the ‘Delta award’ of another festival this time closer to home! Manchester’s own ‘Festival of Fantastic films’ specialising in Horror and Sci-fi films is now in it’s eighteenth year.

The three day event will be showcasing new films and old ones and guests include a variety of ghouls,ghosts and victims of horror movies from the ‘Hammer horror’ era, James bond movies along with some of the more famous U.K horrorfilm Directors of the past. This festival we hoping to go to, it’s still a good four hour drive but we feel this one is worth the effort! The ‘Delta award’ is awarded to an accomplished film by which was made with no real production/crew/budget (That’d be us!) but is a distinguished piece of work. Fingers crossed. ‘Chainmail’ will be shown on Sept 1st, morning/afternoon i’m not sure which but check out the their website for more info at; www.fantastic-films.com/festival

If any friends,mates,family, suits, looking to go to the event look out for us we’ll talk to anyone! Maybe we’ll see you there.

JC

P.S) Below at the AOF film festival we hear the film faired well in a 110 capacity Theatre we filled 90 seats, not bad! Concidering we couldn’t make it there to plug it. The audience’s general response was good and they liked the artwork/Posters. The artwork was done by Richard.

‘Chainmail’ Has been selected by the AOF (Action On Film) film festival held in California 27th-29th of July 2007 where 300 films will be shown.

Screenplay by John Chance and Richard Chance
Reviewed by B’Hellmouth from zombiecore band Send More Paramedics

Richard Chance’s film ‘The Veil’ is brutal enough to terrify even the dead themselves.

This new independent zombie flick brings the undead horror of such films such as Romero’s Night of the living dead to the coast of southern England. The opening scene sees a biological agent release a virus amidst holiday scenes in a typical English seaside town. With a spare yet effective soundtrack combining threatening synths a la John Carpenter with atmospheric Mogwai-style rock, the black and white footage creates a gritty, realistic feel that matches the gasmasks and military hardware bristling from the laconic protagonists, a group of soldiers involved in the management of the zombie contagion whose mission rapidly turns into one of survival.

The dark atmosphere is enhanced by effective use of night scenes which defamiliarise mundane locations such suburban house, village street and open countryside. The special effects are extremely inventive, not to say horrifying viewers are treated to such delights as a Freddie-from-Nightmare-on-Elm-Street-zombie, dog attacks, human zombie torches, deaths by flying cleaver, exploding heads, and (my personal favourite) multiple-limb-severment-and-decapitation-by-chainsaw (the spinning brain-pan has to be seen to be believed!) The zombies are genuinely gacky and meet a variety of appropriately horrendous ends at the hands of our heroes (the car-dragging scene was particularly impressive) Although the film perhaps suffers slightly from a lack of character development (our protagonists are masked throughout…I think it might be ’cause they’re playing the zombies too!) and from the relentlessness of the violence, The Veil offers a satisfyingly grim dash through the darkness of an England suddenly plunged into a biological catastrophe.

Shaun of the dead this ain’t - in The Veil the dead are real serious, and they’re coming to where you live next!
