Brit make-up effects legend Paul Hyett makes his directorial debut with unsettling revenge-fuelled thriller THE SEASONING HOUSE. The film opened this years London Frightfest to divisive opinion with a harsh plot that is both graphic and not exactly enjoyable. Still, it aims to depict some tough, thought provoking events that sadly do happen to go on in this unforgiving world.
Young British newcomer Rosie Day plays Angel, an orphaned mute teen who is forced into the underworld of prostitution at the hands of the military. When those soldiers responsible for her mothers death return and hole up at the brothel that has now become her horrific home, they go on to savagely murder one of her close friends. It becomes the point of no return as Angel plans an even more satisfyingly brutal revenge – with escape also in mind.
Here we have the first difficult-to-watch trailer for the film still awaiting a general release both here in the UK and the US.
THE SEASONING HOUSE co-stars Kevin Howarth, Sean Pertwee, Anna Walton and Jemma Powell. You can read our thoughts on the film from our Frightfest coverage HERE.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
