Welcome back! On this week's episode we conclude our review of the brilliant Northern Horror festival Grimmfest. Sunday was a big closing day with a lot of strong offerings including a psychological 'non-supernatural' haunting, a character study set on a stranded boat, a contagious virus devouring the beautiful and a zombie apocalypse with a ukulele soundtrack. We managed to stay awake and alert for four feature films this time, watching 'I See You', 'Harpoon', 'Rabid' and 'Little Monsters'. It may be time to come back to reality after an amazing long weekend of horror, but it is not the last time we will watch these films.
