The second film from the Manetti Brothers’ whose The Arrival of Wang played Frightfest Glasgow and is scheduled as part of the Re-Discovery Screen at London Frightfest 2012, Paura 3D (literally translated as Fear 3D) is billed as a 3D thrill ride into terror and whilst the film has its moments (no matter how minor), it cannot compare to the sheer brilliance of the Manetti’s sci-fi opus Wang.

Paura 3D tells the story of mechanic Ale, who after overhearing a conversation between a wealthy customer and the garage owner, takes his best friends, Simone and Marco on a trip to the wealthy owners Rome villa intent on having a wild weekend in his luxury mansion. Bored after raiding the fridge, swimming in the pool and...

“The Arrival of Wang” is screening at Film4 Frightfest in London on Saturday 25th August with directors the Manetti brothers in attendance, and will be released via Saffron Hill Films on UK DVD 8th October 2012 after premiering on VOD in September. “The Arrival of Wang” (“L’Arrivo di Wang”) is an Italian science fiction outing from brotherly writer director team Marco and Antonio Manetti, a high concept piece of fun inspired by the likes of “The X Files” and “The Twilight Zone”. Having helmed “Zora the Vampire” and the upcoming giallo “Paura 3D”, the brothers have placed themselves firmly at the forefront of a revival of Italian genre cinema, and though the film works on a number of different levels, it’s first and foremost one for the fans, and clearly made by fans.

Opening Film - The Seasoning House (World Premiere)

Special make-up prosthetics and splatter genius Paul Hyett makes his directorial debut with a harrowing exploration into tense claustrophobia, hard-hitting action and rollercoaster suspense. In a Balkan brothel, where girls kidnapped by soldiers in war-torn zones are prostituted to the military and civilians alike, Angel (Robin Day) is the deaf mute orphan enslaved to care for the inmates. But unbeknownst to her captors, she moves between the walls and crawlspaces of the seasoning house planning her escape. Psychological horror in the nerve-shredding Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski style but with an ultra-modern twist.

89 mins Director: Paul Hyett UK 2012
