Horror fans are ready for another welcome orgy of gore, chills, terror and thrills as the five day Film4 Fright Fest kick off tonight with a line up that includes action chiller The Seasoning House and a world pemeire for comedy horror Cockneys vs Zombies.

Described as a cross between Pan’s Labryinth and Die Hard, opening film The Seasoning House tells the tale of an orphaned deaf mute enslaved in a military brothel. She moves between the walls and crawlspaces of her grim prison, planning her escape and her ingeniously brutal revenge.

Cockneys vs Zombies by contrast takes a more of a fun spirited approach to horror, matching the evil armies of the undead up against a gang of gun wielding hard nut cockneys. With a cast that includes Michelle Ryan, Honor Blackman and Harry Treadaway it’s aiming to be a tooled up Shaun Of the Dead. Trailer below for anyone not lucky enough to be checking out the world premiere tonight. The film hits cinemas nationwide on 31st August.
