‘Here Comes Hell’ Described as “Downton Abbey” Meets ‘Evil Dead’ [Images]

January 31, 2019

Ahead of the World Premiere of the stand-out period horror comedy Here Comes Hell at Arrow Video FrightFest Glasgow 2019 (March 1st), director Jack McHenry has shared the first images and poster art for the £22,000 budget micro-indie in which a 1930’s dinner party descends into carnage, gore and demonic possession.

“The idea came about when I was watching David Lean’s Blithe Spirit and was like: what would happen if instead of his wife coming back and it being funny, it turned into a full-on horror picture?” Henry said about the “Downtown Abbey” meets Evil Dead comparison.

“I’ve always been a massive fan of Agatha Christie and early Hitchcock, but also at the same time I love horror movies like Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead and Peter Jackson’s Braindead and this movie allowed me to combine these two elements in a really fun way.”

In regards to the film’s gore, he adds:

“I wanted a lot of the gore and monster effects to be in camera, and have that old school feel about them. Nothing beats puppets and real blood.”

Check out the first images and poster art ahead of the FrightFest premiere.
