Filmed in black and white, with cut-glass British accents and a dodgy American in the cocktail party mix, a sophisticated 1930s soiree at an isolated country mansion descends into carnage, gore and demonic possession as rivalries and old friendships are put to the test when a gateway to Hell opens up.
Imagine – if you will – that at some point during his illustrious career, schlockmeister William Castle decided to take a trip to England to shoot a film about demonic possession; and then imagine if Castle managed to do Evil Dead, complete with buckets of blood and some fantastic (if slightly Ott) gore and monster effects Before Sam Raimi did Evil Dead. Than imagine whilst in England he happened to see...

Put your hands together for Here Comes Hell
One dark night in a crumbling mansion in a remote part of the English countryside, a group of friends gathers for a dinner party. They seem to have quite enough intrigue, suppressed passion and overt bitterness to keep themselves occupied all night, but the host decides that what would really liven things up would be a séance. The house, however, was once the home of a sinister sorcerer, and the party’s dabbling turns a quiet weekend away into the holiday from Hell.
Show in black and white in a 1930s style, Jack McHenry’s directorial début Here Comes Hell has been described as ‘Downton Abbey meets The Evil Dead and will appeal to fans of both. It’s set to screen in the Frightfest strand at this year’s Glasgow Film Festival and in anticipation of that, Jack and one of his stars,...
