8.5 /10

“Splatter-tastic Zombie Flick makes ebola look like a picnic.”

KKKK 4/5 – Nick Ruskell Kerrang! Magazine

“Great zombie action…Awesome Brit flick with bite!”

Mark Bennet Gorezone Magazine

“The Veil is a very ambitious film and the people behind it deserve a huge amount of credit for managing to realise such a significant vision.”

(Quote from Paul Prichard) Pulpmovies

“The Veil: Heralds the future of Horror. Forget trite comparisons with other films, shove, oneupmanship and crappy ‘debates’ like ‘Brit flicks vs American Movies’, this is where it’s at. The Veil packs more
visceral punch than Cronenberg on Amphetamine sulphate…see it”

FESTIVAL OF FANTASTIC FILMS

Manchester (Official Selection/Possible Nomination)

We have been informed we are on the ‘Shortlist’ for the ‘Delta award’ of another festival this time closer to home! Manchester’s own ‘Festival of Fantastic films’ specialising in Horror and Sci-fi films is now in it’s eighteenth year.

The three day event will be showcasing new films and old ones and guests include a variety of ghouls,ghosts and victims of horror movies from the ‘Hammer horror’ era, James bond movies along with some of the more famous U.K horrorfilm Directors of the past. This festival we hoping to go to, it’s still a good four hour drive but we feel this one is worth the effort! The ‘Delta award’ is awarded to an accomplished film by which was made with no real production/crew/budget (That’d be us!) but is a distinguished piece of work. Fingers crossed. ‘Chainmail’ will be shown on Sept 1st, morning/afternoon i’m not sure which but check out the their website for more info at; www.fantastic-films.com/festival

P.S) Below at the AOF film festival we hear the film faired well in a 110 capacity Theatre we filled 90 seats, not bad! Concidering we couldn’t make it there to plug it. The audience’s general response was good and they liked the artwork/Posters. The artwork was done by Richard.
