‘We always have a snapshot of exactly where the genre is at the moment, so we’re only as strong as the films that are being produced. I think it’s a fantastic line-up this year. Little Deaths has three British directors taking different tacks on a sex and horror theme. We’ve got Simon Rumley who gives us Bitch and Shaun Hogan’s House & Home which is kind of a vampire story, without wanting to give too much away.

The brilliant Korean picture I Saw the Devil, which we’re going to be screening uncut, is a serial killer movie. It’s very extreme but it’s done with that Korean sensibility so it’s going to look amazing on the big screen.

Rubber has a killer tyre on the loose and lots of exploding heads. It’s a very unusual concept but the director has done a great job with it. It’s very violent and very funny. The Shrine is by the Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer people and is a straightforward dark horror movie, with no humour in it at all. It’s very Mario Bava-esque. Then we have Darren Lynn Bousman’s semi-remake, remixed version of Mother’s Day with an all-star cast, which delivers brutalities in extremes.

I think Hobo with a Shotgun is one that will blow people away with its high level of splatter and audience-friendly excitement. We did the Grindhouse UK premiere a few years ago in Glasgow and this follows in that tradition. It’s our closing night film and this will be the film’s first screening after its debut at Sundance so it’s going to be a really big ticket.’
