As a huge fan of Italian Horror, Giallo and US Horror Anthologies I was very excited to finally see the Onetti Bros A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio which I first hear of almost 2 years ago.Being familiar with the Onetti Bros work and their love of Italian Horror and the Giallo in particular I knew this would be worth the wait. The Onetti Bros have an impressive back catalogue (DEEP SLEEP, FRANCESCA, WHAT THE WATERS LEFT BEHIND, ABRAKADABRA) behind them already and this time round they have assembled a talented array of directors, all previously known as directors of horror shorts to flesh out NIGHTMARE RADIO across nine segments.The colour palate is pure Mario Bava by way of Dario Argento and the film riffs on while playing respect to the Giallo genre as well as THE FOG, REC, MAMA, TENEBRE, OPERA and THE THEATRE BIZARRE among many others.This is the Horror Anthology we have been waiting for!

A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio will be available on Amazon and Google from 21st December and itunes from 30th December.

On a stormy night Rod leads a radio show dedicated to horror. Listeners call the radio telling their own paranormal stories. Until suddenly the announcer begins to receive strange calls from a child who desperately asks for help.

At first Rod thinks that it is a bad joke until he discovers that this is not the case. Not only that, but these calls hide a dark secret in which the announcer himself becomes involved.

First shown at FRIGHTFEST back in 2011, Cristian Solimeno’s THE GLASS MAN is finally available to see for the first time in 9 years and so deserving of it’s release from obscurity. Playing out like an extended Black Mirror episode while riffing on many psychological horror films where the lead character’s mind is unravelling in front of us. Andy Nyman delivers, in my opinion, his finest performance to date and its a shame THE GLASS MAN has languished in obscurity for the past decade.Highly recommended!

Tigermoth Moving Pictures and Central City Media are delighted to announce the UK digital release of the psychological horror thriller The Glass Man on December 7th. The film includes a strong British cast of Andy Nyman (Ghost Stories) and James Cosmo (Game of Thrones), as well as horror icon Neve Campbell (Scream). The Glass Man originally screened at Frightfest in 2011 to critical acclaim and now has its long awaited UK release.

The Glass Man tells the story of Martin (Nyman) whose perfect life, with the perfect wife (Campbell) and the perfect house is shattered when a loan shark, Pecco (Cosmo), calls at their home in the dead of night to collect what he’s owed.  Pecco offers an ultimatum – lose everything or be his accomplice for the evening.  As they hurtle towards the terrible deed that Martin must perform, it starts to become clear that Pecco’s intentions are even darker than they appear. 

The film is directed by Cristian Solimeno, who earlier in the year released the heartfelt meditation on mental health, I Made This For You. The film followed a group of friends trying to stop suicide went viral when it was released on youtube for free during Mental Health Awareness month. It was shortly picked up by Channel 4 and praised by the BBC.

Cristian says “I’m incredibly excited to bring this film to a UK audience at last. The performances are extraordinary and the themes seem more important and pressing than ever. Just wait till you see what Andy Nyman does in this. It will blow you away.”

The Glass Man will be available to watch on digital download in the UK on December 7th.
