Leading British horror producer makes the ultimate London horror film


Leading British film producer Julie Baines, whose company previously made such films as CREEP, SEVERANCE and TRIANGLE, is now planning the ultimate London horror movie. BLOODY LONDON will show the capital as it's never been seen before, as it spins its terrifying tale of a taxi driver who discovers what really happens when the sun goes down...

Julie Baines describes it as "a very original horror movie that's not just scary but also moving - it's like a horror version of Tarantino's PULP FICTION, because it tells several interlocking stories taking place over one night in London." BLOODY LONDON is being directed by some of the UK's leading horror directors, including Tom Shankland (RIPPER STREET, THE CHILDREN), Johnny Kevorkian (THE DISAPPEARED) and Steven Sheil, director of the highly controversial MUM AND DAD.

Special make-up effects will be by Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning Nick Dudman, whose credits include STAR WARS, INDIANA JONES and HARRY POTTER. The film's executive producer is Alan Jones, the UK's leading authority on horror films and co-founder of leading European film festival Frightfest, which takes place in Leicester Square every August. Alan Jones comments, "Over my 40 years in the film industry I have been asked many times to become involved in films as a producer but I have always said no - until now. It was the many qualities of BLOODY LONDON that made me decide that this was something I really wanted to get involved in."

BLOODY LONDON will be the first in a series of horror films, with future films to include BLOODY PARIS, BLOODY NEW YORK and BLOODY BANGKOK. So this could be the birth of a new film franchise - in the greatest capital city in the world.

BLOODY LONDON's producers are also launching a competition to find London's creepiest stories, so would like to ask LONDON LIVE viewers to let them know - what is the scariest thing that's ever happened to you in London? You may have quite a few to choose from!

The producers are currently closing the finance for the film and are working with the crowd funding platform Seedrs - if you want to get involved and grab a piece of the 'Action!', go to:
