Shit Film Amnesty at Dead By Dawn
passes are now on sale for Scotland’s horror film festival, Dead by Dawn. And, among all the other horrific delights of the festival, the organisers are bringing back the Shit Film Amnesty.
The rules are simple.
You bring along the worst horror video or DVD you have ever acquired, and are willing to get up and tell us just how it came to be in your possession. Maybe you were so stoned you staggered into HMV and bought a copy of Munchies, thinking it was edible. Maybe you won it in a church raffle when really you were only in it for the slightly sticky packet of Spangles. Maybe you shelled out good hard-earned readies for it cos there’s a half-decent shag in it and you were too chicken to buy real porn. Whatever. We will be your judge and jury.
The audience will then vote for a winner. And when I say winner, I mean loser. But in a good way. The, ahem, “winner” gets to take home ALL the shit films entered into the competition. My advice would be to save them all up for Guy Fawkes, strap them to fireworks and twang the whole damn lot into outer space, Hunter-stylee.
The Dead by Dawn festival runs from 26th to 29th April and will, of course, be offering up some of the finest, most unpleasant, totally undiscovered gems the genre has to offer.
