The list of films for the London event is as follows:
 
18:30  SOULMATE  (UK Premiere)
Axelle Carolyn makes her impressive feature debut with a sophisticated ghost story. After attempting to commit suicide due to the sudden death of her husband, Audrey (Anna Walton) decides to retreat to a remote country cottage. But she soon discovers her safe haven is haunted by its previous owner. Produced by Neil Marshall, this is one good-looking, classy chiller.
.
21:15  PATRICK (UK Premiere)
Mark Hartley makes his feature debut with this brilliant remake of Richard Franklin’s seminal 1978 favourite. Nurse Kathy Jacquard (YOU’RE NEXT’s Sharni Vinson) arrives in the desolate outback to work at the Roget Clinic, looking after comatose patients, including the handsome but psychic Patrick. Also starring Charles Dance (Underworld Awakening) Director Hartley builds on the horror, in a fulsome homage to bloody stylish shock.

23:25  DISCOPATH  (Preview)
It’s 1976, Donna Summer tops the charts and everyone believes in mirror balls. Except Manhattan burger cook Duane Lewis who goes psycho when he hears the pulsating rhythm of Disco. Unable to control his maniac impulses, Duane turns his local Seventh Heaven nightclub into a splatter Disco Inferno. With a NY detective in hot pursuit Duane heads to Montreal.. At first you’ll be afraid, you’ll be petrified…

01:45  MARK OF THE DEVIL  (Retro Premiere)
Originally banned in the UK, FrightFest is proud to unveil the restored version of this controversial classic by Michael Armstrong. Herbert Lom plays a sadistic Witchfinder General touring 18th century Austria for Devil’s disciples. It’s up to Count Meruh (Udo Kier) to uncover the violent hypocrisy of the persecutions.

03:55 THE STATION  (UK Premiere)
Director Marvin Kren brings us a climate change shocker and ecological creature feature. Four technicians and scientists at an Austrian alpine research station discover a glacier of blood high in the mountains. Testing the red liquid, they discover a new alien organism with the astonishing capability of transforming the local wildlife into horrific hybrids and monster mutations.

05:45  NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR  (UK Premiere)
The first terror tale from Slasher Films (founded by Guns N’ Roses rock legend Slash) is an atmospheric frightener. James Tupper and Anne Heche are the new pastor and his wife who arrive in Stull, Kansas hoping for an idyllic family country life. But an ancient ritual is put into motion that unleashes a demonic fury and its inhabitants must quell the Beast who rises to walk the Earth at all bloody costs. Clancy Brown (Nightmare on Elm Street remake, Starship Troopers) also stars.
