Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge is, on paper, an intriguing prospect… Part crime thriller, part supernatural horror, the film follows a pair of local police officers from a small town just outside of Detroit being plagued by mysterious murders. As the evidence mounts up, they can no longer deny the presence of a long forgotten supernatural entity, the Nain Rouge, the city’s harbinger of doom.

With the new slasher-style horror Pitchfork selected to play at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on Friday 19th January. I got chance to ask actor Andrew Dawe-Collins about what makes the film stand out in the genre, preparing for the role of Ben Holister Sr. / Pa and his favourite scenes in the movie.

What can we expect from the film Pitchfork?

A cool, modern day slasher that pays tribute to the 80’s slasher films that writer, director, Glenn Douglas Packard grew up on. His love for the genre is easy to see in this film. But he also does a great job of giving us a fresher take on what a slasher film Hero is. Surprises a plenty in this film!

A few months prior I completed my first feature, Bloody Bloody Bible Camp. We were just eager to do another one.
