New Irish Horror Movie"The Twilight Hour"

Slane

I just found this new info over at the ever informative creature-corner.com,can't be arsed typing it up so i shall simply paste it.

Pasted From Creature-Corner.com;
-Ghosts. Things that go bump in the night. A strange...presence felt when you're sure you're alone. All have been the subjects of countless documentaries, fake and otherwise, that attempt to show you the "other side", as it were. There are some people out there, like photographer Sir Simon Marsden, that can't keep away from this other side no matter how hard they try, and now there is a film that may help explain why.

'Twilight Hour: Visions of Ireland's Haunted Past', is a new 80-minute feature from first-time director Jason Figgis, in which he takes the task of following Marsden from one haunted Irish site to another as Marsden prepares new photographs for his upcoming book 'Twilight Hour - Celtic Visions From the Past'. Along the way we are told the true story of some of Ireland's most frightful locales, including castles, ruins, and mysterious stones that have been around longer than anyone knows.

The film was shown at the recent European Film Festival in Chicago, where some great reviews came forth comparing it to 'The Blair Witch Project', just more creepy. Nothing could be bad about that...

A deal is in the works to release the film here in the states, though through whom yet is not clear. It will come out on DVD sometime this October, with possible festival releases included for good measure. As soon as we can procure a copy for ourselves, we'll give you the real scoop on this project, and damnit I have to admit I'm fascinated by it.


Well there ya go,sounds interesting hum?Well hopefully it will be shown at the good ole IFC in temple bar sometime soon and we can all go in and see it,and then never leave the city center ever again for fear of evil.Or....y'know......just go home,whatever takes your fancy really.

I saw this, not too long ago.
The launch of the film took place in a castle down in uh.. Leitrim, I think. Supposed to be one of the most haunted castles in the world. Anyway.. the film was pretty boring, and NOONE from the production of the film turned up, which was a little disappointing.

But that didn't matter, because the guys in the castle were cool, and let us run around trying on the suits of armour and swinging at each other with swords and maces and stuff.

Actually, thinking back, I don't think anyone actually _gave_ us permission.

Wow Irish horror is getting trendy these days with this and that Zombie film in works. but for real Irish horror watch some of RTE`s home produced progrmas. The Lyrisc board for example, not that scared the sh1t outa me.
