Screening of the slasher film Charlie Shaw's Revenge followed by a Q&A with director John Langridge, producer Renato Pires and actor James Payton.
Charlie Shaw's Revenge is screening at Electric Palace on Thursday 29 October, with a Q&A to follow. It's a bloody, emotionally charged slasher that introduces another clown to the horror genre, leaning on practical effects and suspense. The plot follows a group of maintenance workers and costumed performers preparing to reopen Forrestal's Funland, a remote adventure park on the brink of bankruptcy, who find themselves stalked one by one by a silent killer. Cut off from any form of rescue, they have to band together to fight for their lives.
On screen, the film features director John Langridge alongside Cerys Knighton, James Payton, Mark Benton, and Bill Fellows, with professional circus performers also appearing. It's picked up some recognition on the awards circuit, taking home Best Horror Feature and Best Narrative Feature Film, and earned two nominations and one award including Best Sussex Production. The cast and crew bring in a fair bit of screen experience, with credits stretching from Coronation Street to Captain America: The First Avenger, Wednesday, and Zach Snyder's Justice League.
