Horror Channel Frightfest preview: Abattoir Simon Fitzjohn August 16, 2016 Film4 Frightfest, London, London Previews 1 Comment 3433 Darren Lynn Bousman sure knows how to film a good gorefest – he was responsible for three of the first four entries in the Saw saga after all. So we’re pretty interested to see how Abattoir stacks up, a film that seemingly seeks to marry the bloodshed with something a bit more supernatural. Lifted from a series of graphic novels (actually penned by Bousman himself, among others), Abattoir stars the likes of 90210’s Jessica Lowndes and veteran star Michael Pare, who headlined last year’s little-seen-but-very-very-good Frightfest entry Shelter. Here’s the synopsis: The director of REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA and SAW II-IV returns with a nightmarish mystery based on the popular series of graphic novels haunting the netherworlds between bloody supernatural horror and hardboiled neo-Noir. After the death of her sister and nephew, real-estate investigative reporter Julia uncovers the sinister truth behind a series of gruesome murders where the entire killing rooms have been dismantled and pulled from their foundations. It seems a strange man has been buying up locations where such tragedies have occurred – but why? The answers lead Julia and tough cop Grady on a search into unimaginable horror. Abattoir plays at Frightfest on Saturday, August 27 – and here’s a German trailer which pretty much delivers what you want: One Response Wedgelence August 27, 2016 If you want to watch the trailer in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wGrpZRSqKE
