Coaster Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I've noticed that they are calling Fright Nights "The UK's premier Halloween event" in a lot of places. They've got a lot of hype to live up to this year, let's hope they pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben1990 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 SPOILER -Tips for those visiting FN in the next few days CABIN IN THE WOODS -A clever concept with a variety of techniques and settings- there's plenty to look at and the maze is fairly faithful to the plot of the film. The actors are plentiful and have [mostly] clear characters. A few have actual dialogue, too, which makes a nice change. If any negatives were to be noted, I'd say it is easy to go the wrong way and see what you're not meant to; it works well in a small group and when the maze is not busy; finally some areas are badly lit [too bright] and thus it is clear to see how little money has been spent- and easy to recognise hints of The Passing /Hellgate. 7.5/10 MY BLOODY VALENTINE -The best thing about this maze (for me) is the facade they've built up across the arena- thus actually conjuring up some mystery (as opposed to seeing a big tent, or a random arrangements of shipping crates)- at least for those who don't know it's essentially Experiment 10. The internal theming is, on the whole, strong, albeit fairly wasted in parts. Also some areas show little sign of any change from Experiment 10. I like that there are multiple actors playing the main miner from the film, giving the impression he follows you on your journey. The weakest part of the maze is an operational one:- There is a point in the maze where two groups (one of which crawled through a tunnel, the other having skipped this) are at risk of meeting in an all-too-brightly lit room, essentially due to poor timing, and it takes away any effect the lone actress has. 6/10 SAW ALIVE -Actually very impressive performance. Filled with actors, all whom seem to understand the SAW concept, all using the spaces to their full potential and actually acting, as opposed to shouting and relying on 'jump' scares. Atmosphere great- lots of smoke and smells (in the right places), brilliant theming and lighting. The SWAT actors in the first scene are forceful and aim to intimidate, all with an edge of dark humour. 8/10 ASYLUM -EXCELLENT as always. Actresses roaming the queue are reminiscent of The Sanctuary nurses. Around 15 minutes long in total, this experience is relentless and consistently thrilling throughout. Filled with a different actor around every corner, the layout is genuinely confusing and it is hard to see other groups ahead/behind yours. Actors use new props and settings to their full potential and all actors are consistent in their portrayal of 'an asylum' as a concept. New/revised finale is also exceptional for those at the front of the group. 9/10 YOU'RE NEXT (ROAMING CHARACTERS) -Abysmal. There are around ten individuals roaming the park together with entirely unconvincing axe/hammer props. Those who have seen the films will struggle to see any resemblance in atmosphere or character aside from the plastic animal masks themselves. The group comprises 80% female actors, and overall none of the actors are above 5'8" in height (Essentially, they are not intimidating and far from the huge, military-style hit-men seen in the film). They all wear jeans or tracksuit bottoms and casual footwear (I.e VANS)- looking like 'hood rats' opposed to the genuinely creepy characters of the film. Flawed both creatively and practically:- they stand no chance among big crowds of individuals. 1/10 Glitch, Cornflakes and Kerfuffle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben1990 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 SPOILER is the revised finale in the asylum still using the chainsaw guy? The corridor itself is, structurally the same. It has an eery alarm sounding, and is lit in red. There are blood-stained shower curtains obstructing your path, making for some good jump scares by a female actress (who has followed you in from the maze proper). Toward the end of the corridor are three blood-stained toilet cubicles. At this point the group are anticipating the chainsaw approaching from behind, but to everyone's terror, he launches himself from the far cubicle in front of the group- towering over everybody and actually blocking your path. Most people tend to bow down and crouch on the floor as the deafening chainsaw roars just inches above your heads. He then (subtly) lets you pass and continues to chase you out of the corridor- absolutely brilliant.

And are there any mazes you wish were not replaced as their replacement was worse?
