We are now only a matter of days away from this year’s Arrow Video FrightFest event. From 26th – 30th August the four horsemen of horror (Alan Jones, Greg Day, Paul McEvoy and Ian Rattray) will be delighting those with a thirst for macabre content as they host over sixty movies that celebrate the dark heart of cinema. This year’s festival will be the first time that organisers and attendees have been in the same room since Glasgow 2020 and everyone is very excited to be reunited in the physical world once more. Ahead of the event, we at team THN have been speaking with some of the talent in front of and behind the camera for some of this year’s selection.
The Last Thing Mary Saw received its world premiere at Fantasia International Film Festival earlier this month, and has already been snapped up by genre streaming giant Shudder. This weekend it will screen at FrightFest as part of the main screen programme. The story focuses on two young women, Mary (Stefanie Scott) and her family’s maid Eleanor (Isabelle Fuhrman). Much to the horror of Mary’s family, the pair have fallen in love and it is this that sets in motion a deadly sequence of events. It’s an intense watch that conjures up similar feelings to that of Robert Eggers’ The VVitch.
A few days ago we brought you our middle-of-a-thunderstorm interview with actors Isabelle Fuhrman and Stefanie Scott for the film The Last Thing Mary Saw. Now we have had the opportunity to speak with its writer and director, Edoardo Vitaletti, to get his perspective on the project.
The Last Thing Mary Saw arrives on DVD 19th September 2022 from Acorn Media International.
