THE GATHERING
Heard of the new British horror flick, The Gathering? Well, if not, this is one to keep your eyes on in the Asylum’s humble opinion! UK magazine Shivers spoke with director Brian Gilbert about the film: ‘What really sold me on it was that it was a British Horror film in the same way that The Omen and The Wicker Man were. By that I mean it wasn’t just about green smoke or bats flying about but was strongly rooted in ideas about Britain’s past, old religions and Christianity. All the best Horror films have a strong foreground story with interesting themes and ideas subversively woven in. And that’s why I found The Gathering so effective as it was ripe for undermining its beautifully constructed surface with a sense of darkness and unexplained forces at work’. The films stars Christina Ricci and Ioan Gruffud.
