In every city, lots of women live alone, apparently. Well fuck me, when did that happen? Sorry, I'm in a weird mood this afternoon. Here for your delectation is the trailer for the latest film by those doyens of the despicable, those pedlars of something beginning with "p", Hammer. It's not particularly British, but it does say Hammer at the beginning and has a spectacularly be-wigged Christopher Lee in it, so it probably counts for this website. One warning, don't watch it if you have any intention of watching the film, as it appears to show most of the shock moments. It also appears to show a rather by-the-numbers stalk n' slash movie, which, to be honest, is neither my cup of tea or the kind of thing I hoped a revitalised Hammer would be doing. Bring on The Woman In Black, I say. Hammer should be doing Gothic horror, and balls to anyone who says otherwise!

Jaime Winstone is after them poor cannibals again
Ah, Jaime Winstone. What's not to like? Apart from that oddly-spelled name, which I never really know how to say out loud. One assume's it's "Jamie" as in "overrated chef", but I always read it as "Jaim" as in "posh way of saying jam".
Anyway, the luscious young Winstone (careful now Chris, her dad will batter you) is due to star in a new Brit cannibal flick (what is it with this country and cannibals?) called Elfie Hopkins, which starts shooting on March 8. Which means that for a change, I'm ahead of the game. Well fuck me, that hardly ever happens.
And said dad is in it too, to lend some shouty East End gravitas. I for one am sold.

Jaime Winstone (pictured) is to star alongside her father, Ray Winstone, in ELFIE HOPKINS – a twisted tale of cannibalism set in a British rural hunting village, which begins principle photography on March 8 in locations around Cardiff. This is the first time both actors have worked together.
Jaime plays the title role, a quirky “wanna-be” detective whose appetite for a real-life case is matched by the appetites of a new family (The Gammons) who move into the village. Ray Winstone plays the local butcher and meat is definitely on the menu….
Jaime said today: Elfie Hopkins has been an alter ego of mine for a while now and I can't wait for the world to meet her. She’ll kick ass!. For me, Elfie's a dream role to play and I feel there is a gap in the British film industry which we will more then fill! I can’t wait to work with Ryan Andrews - he is a young and exciting director with a vision that can match my imagination”.
Producer Jonathan Sothcott added:"We're delighted to be bringing Jaime and Ray Winstone together in a movie for the first time. They are both utterly compelling screen actors and we have a script worthy of their combined talents. I know Jaime will make Elfie an instant cult icon and in Ryan Andrews I have a director I think will be seen as a British Tim Burton"
ELFIE HOPKINS is made by Black and Blue Films in association with Ray Winstone & Michael Wiggs’ company Size 9 Productions, The film also stars Aneurin Barnard (Spring Awakening, Ironclad) and Kimberley Nixon (Cherrybomb)
The film is directed by Ryan Andrews, who also wrote the screenplay and acts as co-producer. Billy Murray and Ray Winstone exec produce.

Lurkio! (or whatever it is they shout all the time) Fancy some Potter on Blu Ray?
Scorchio? Takethatio? Spotify? Bollocksiarmus? Ah, it's been years since I read the books and I gave up on the films a long time ago. But I believe they are still popular amongst the young 'uns, whatever it is the young wizards say when they're blasting each other with special effects. Anyhoo, the second-to-lastest Potterathon is coming to Blu Ray soon, so you can watch them Twatify each other in glorious high definition. And if you're hip enough to join them on Facebook (or, let's face it, gullible enough to believe that Daniel Radcliffe is now your friend if you become friends with the film page) you can be in with the chance to get said disc for free. That's right, free! God help you.

The Hike stars at Brum Memorabilia Show
Don't know much about this film, which sounds suspiciously like a remash of The Descent (not that that would be a bad thing, necessarily)...
Cast and crew from new British horror movie The Hike will be attending the Winter Memorabilia Show at Birmingham's NEC this weekend, show organisers have announced. Director Rupert Bryan and The Hike�s stars will be holding promotional signings and on-stage Q&A panels on both days of Memorabilia, as well as showing exclusive footage of the upcoming film.
Starring Tamer Hassan (Dead Man Running; Clash of the Titans), Barbara Nedeljakova (Hostel; Pimp), Zara Phythian; Ben Loyd Holmes (Torchwood; Bones), Stephanie Siadatan, Jemma Bolt, Lisa Maria Long, Daniel Caren and Dominic LeMoignan, The Hike follows an all female hiking expedition that takes a turn for the worse when the girls find they are not alone in the woods.
"The Hike is a very emotional story, with really strong characters," said director Rupert Bryan. "In one way, it's a thriller that is very much about the chase and the kill, but on another level it is a story of realism. The film is set in a situation we could all find ourselves in, with people we all might know."

I wanted to go to the Memorabilia Show this weekend but won't be able to make it. Could someone say hello to Valerie Leon from me? I don't know her, but say hello anyway.

Website down
Sorry if you're a regular user... the BHF website is currently down. Mainly cos I haven't paid the bill, so the automated system has kicked in. I've contacted the guy in charge, and the money's waiting, so hopefully we'll be up and running again soon!
