Even he isn’t that interesting and is something of a contradiction too. No one gets any character development and all are there to just be fodder for the psycho. The character of Finkle, a dwarf, is treated even worse, used as a glorified beer opener by Crowe and constantly belittled and berated by everybody else. The female characters all seem to be there to be starred at, perved on, dressed in fetish costumes, stripped, or just plain ignored. It offers nothing in terms of progression, and if anything, actually goes a few steps backwards with its treatment of women and minority characters. Fright Fest is one of those horror films that we’ve seen time and time again. If you read the above synopsis and thought ‘this sounds rather cliched’ you would be very, very right.

And who better than Spencer Crowe to bring it to life? Disaster strikes on opening night when a bus full of prisoners crashes outside the site and the resident psychopath descends to unleash a whole lot of bloodshed. Desperate to appeal to voters, he has the ingenious idea to get the public onside by hosting an interactive scare attraction. Meanwhile, the Mayor of Somertown needs to be re-elected. A reputation as a drug-crazed lunatic has meant that no one in Hollywood wants to work with him. Prolific horror film director Spencer Crowe (Dylan Walsh) has fallen from grace. Whatever film that happened to be was destined to screen at Frightfest, but sadly, the Fright Fest film does not live up to the calibre of the festival. It was only a matter of time before a horror film decided to name itself Fright Fest.
