Arrow Video FrightFest Reveals Its 2022 Poster

The U.K.’s Arrow Video FrightFest is one of our absolute favorite fear-fare film festivals here at Horror Fuel, and we are pleased to share the poster reveal for this year’s edition. We also can’t wait to tell you about their lineup, which will be revealed this Thursday, July 14! Arrow Video FrightFest is proud to present Graham Humphreys’ stand-out poster design for 2022, which marks the 14th appearance for his iconic Monster. Graham revealed today: “The predominant theme is a celebration of past ‘trophy’ films. I took my inspiration references from an old paperback cover ‘Vincent Price presents: The Price of Fear’, in which Vincent’s head is depicted mounted on a wooden shield. It seemed the perfect way to represent the films, with key portraiture represented as mounted heads. Rather than mount the head of the regular FrightFest monster, I thought it would be fun to turn him into the roaring lion of MGM’s familiar mascot!” This year’s annual Bank

Movie Review: ‘American Carnage’ Is A Brutal, But Fun Tale About The Horrors Of Immigration

Horror films often mirror reality and real fears. And that’s the case with American Carnage by director Diego Hallivis. The movie, laced with humor, tackles some heavy subjects, including immigration, and the fear of growing old. In the film, a party for PJ’s sister is interrupted by an ICE team based on a law passed by a twisted governor who wants both illegals and their US-born children gone before election day. PJ is one of the teens sent to a senior facility to serve for three months to have the charges of aiding an illegal (his mom) dropped. But things take a very sinister turn when PJ and his new friends learn the truth about the center and the fate that awaits them. Of course, they refuse to go down without a fight.
