The Last Horror Movie almost tops UK DVD rentals
25th Aug 05
 Great news for fans of well-made low-budget British horror as Fangoria.com have revealed that Julian Richards’ remarkable £100,000 film, The Last Horror Movie is poised to replace Alexander at the top spot of the UK Blockbuster rental charts.
Completed way back in 2003, The Last Horror Movie has had a troubled journey in the UK, with only a very small cinema release and now the DVD, more than a year after the US and various Asian releases were made available. But strong word on the festival circuit has ensured that the film is finally being seen by a whole bunch of DVD renters - arguably the best way to see it.
Julian Richards, who produced and directed the film, told Fangoria it was all about the strategy: “ It’s impossible for homegrown films to theatrically compete with Hollywood; it’s just too expensive, which is why I specifically designed The Last Horror Movie to work straight to DVD, which is now estimated to be worth 70 percent of the market”.
