Grimmfest has fast become one of the ‘go to’ genre film festivals in the World, now in its 15th year, the festival will see thousands of fans attend in early October at the Odeon Great Northern in Manchester UK. GRIMMFEST continues to draw a huge community of genre film fans, press and guests to Manchester (UK) and was recently named as one of the best genre festivals in the world' by MovieMaker magazine.
Grimmfest says: Likely to spark controversy, conversation and some heated debate, Raymond Woods candy-coloured queercore feminist revenge shocker sees an up-and-coming actress confronting the fall-out of appearing in a successful but critically reviled clown-themed slasher movie. Boasting an extraordinary, emotionally raw, harrowingly honest lead performance by Jenna Kanell, who also co-writes, the film is inspired more than a little, it seems, by some of her own experiences in the wake of starring in the first TERRIFIER, and deftly balances splatter, satire, vicarious vengeance, and a twist of sly metacinematic mischief to offer a pointed critique of some of the more questionable aspects of the horror genre and the ways in which fame in an era of toxic social media can prove a truly Faustian bargain. Grimmfest is thrilled to be hosting the regional premiere of a horror movie that refuses to hold its tongue or pull its punches and is guaranteed to ruffle more than a few feathers among the genres gatekeepers.
