Watching Nolly will divide a generation: you’ll either be surprised you haven’t heard of her (even if she was ‘a bit before your time’), or even more surprised you’d somehow forgotten she ever existed.
She certainly seems instantly unforgettable, thanks in part to Helena Bonham Carter’s assured depiction of her full-throttle, take-life-by-the-horns character (infamous red dye job included), but also thanks to Nolly writer Russell T Davies’ very obvious affection for the real Noele Gordon.
Davies respectfully litters the series with references to her many underappreciated achievements in the television industry. If you do know Noele Gordon, you’ll most likely know her as a daytime TV stalwart who propped up the naff-but-beloved British soap Crossroads (even if she couldn’t prop up the show’s infamous wobbly scenery) as motel owner Meg for the best part of two decades.
But the reality,...

The Morning Show star Augustus Prew and Sherlock’s Mark Gatiss have boarded Russell T Davies’ ITV drama Nolly starring Helena Bonham Carter.
A first-look image has been unveiled of Harry Potter star Carter playing Noele Gordon, nicknamed Nolly, the star of former British soap Crossroads who was one of the most famous people in Britain before being axed from the show without warning. With the boss’s words “all good things must come to an end” ringing in her ears, Noele found herself thrown out of the show that was her life for over 18 years.
Prew will play Tony Adams, Nolly’s Crossroads co-star, with Gatiss starring as entertainer Larry Grayson.
Others to have boarded include Richard Lintern (Young Wallander), Antonia Bernath (Downton Abbey), Clare Foster (The Crown), Chloe Harris (Sherwood) and Lloyd Griffith (Ted Lasso).

However I didn’t miss the furore surrounding its screenings, which – if memory serves, sold out on more than one occasion? Our man Jack Kirby did see it though and unfortunately he wasn’t too impressed, but I think he may have been suffering from zombie-movie fatigue having sat through opening night snoozefest The Dead 2.
Yet another example of the British zombie comedy, Stalled takes a more puerile route in pursuit of its laughs, but then when you set your film in a toilet where else is there for you to go?

Stalled (2013)
Starring: Dan Palmer, Antonia Bernath, Tamaryn Payne
Writer: Dan Palmer
Director: Christian James
Synopsis:
It’s Christmas eve and a soon to be shit-canned maintenance man is changing light bulbs and cleaning toilets, instead of drinking eggnog and making out with drunk receptionists at the annual office party.
Unfortunately for this forlorn floor-sweeper he chooses to use the ladies restroom the very second a zombie outbreak occurs! Will he bowl us over and flush away the undead or simply remain… Stalled?
He’s in the perfect place to be scared shitless.
Review:
Zombies, zombies, zombies! They aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, folks, so it’s best to get used to ‘em! If you’re tired of the more by-the-basics undead type flicks, there’s plenty of indie filmmakers out there trying to do different things within the sub-genre. Stalled comes to us from the dudes behind Freak Out.

Stalled
Written by Dan Palmer
Directed by Christian James
UK, 2013
Being trapped in a room full of zombies should be a bit more harrowing than the UK horror comedy Stalled would suggest. In the film, a hapless maintenance worker/janitor (Dan Palmer) gets trapped in the women’s lavatory during a company Christmas party. Things are exacerbated further when a slew of zombies start invading the loo, at which point the janitor realizes a woman named Heather (Antonia Bernath) is trapped with him a few stalls down.
With its low production qualities and lack of real story, Stalled doesn’t make for a very tense or scary zombie flick. Instead, the film functions more as a journey of introspection for the main character, with the faceless Heather as the pseudo-psychiatrist who helps him realize his emotional reclusion and personal failings. It’s all very schmaltzy, indeed (much like a bottle...

Stalled is a new zombie feature from production company Cubicle Hero. This comedic title had a United Kingdom premiere August 24th and the reviews have been positive, so far. This film has been compared to another zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead. And, fans can preview the film's promotional materials, here. Stalled involves a maintenance man, who is trapped in a washroom during a zombie apocalypse. W. C. (Dan Palmer) needs to find a way to escape, but his one man stall provides few exits. Can he find a way out, before the undead find a way in? Critic Luke Owen from Flickering Myth enjoyed the film: "Palmer's performance and willingness will lead to some really big laughs." Also, the trailer for the film offers hilarity as W.C. overreacts to his desperate situation. Horror and zombie fans can preview the film's trailer and official movie poster here. Director: Christian James.

The latest comic horror venture from 'Freak Out' creators Christian James ('Kill Keith') and Dan Palmer ('Evil Aliens') is new British zombie flick 'Stalled'. The project will be hitting the Us courtesy of Uncork'd Entertainment and Odin's Eye this coming October where it'll be receiving a limited theatrical run. Which will in turn follow up with a home release during November. Exact dates are still to be nailed down but in the meantime the movie has managed to piggy-back onto another zombie movie that is enjoying success at the box office currently. The new teaser poster manages to parody and take a literal massive sh#t on the artwork of 'World War Z'. Antonia Bernath ('St Trinians', 'Lykke'), Dan Palmer, Tamaryn Payne ('Hollyoaks'), Mark Holden, Giles Alderson ('The Harsh Light of Day'), Victoria Broom, Mark Kelly and Victoria Eldon all star.

One man. One toilet. And lots of zombies! Lol! Get ready for a completely weird horror movie titled Stalled, which comes from director Christian James and is currently in post production. Yeah, no official release date at this moment, but at least we have a completely fresh (well, if fresh is the right word for a story set in one toilet) teaser trailer for the whole thing. Make sure you check this out, and let us know what you think!
So, Christian James directed the movie from Dan Palmer‘s script which centers on a luckless maintenance gopher who finds himself stuck in a ladies restroom during the zombie apocalypse.
Dan Palmer also stars as the lead, character named W.C (yeah, that’s funny name, too) while the rest of the cast also includes Antonia Bernath, Tamaryn Payne, Mark Holden, Giles Alderson and Chris R. Wright.

Currently in post-productions, Stalled is the latest entry into the UK horror comedy genre that British filmmakers often seem to have a handle on better than most. (Naturally, I point you towards Shaun of the Dead as a good starting point if you’re new to the genre.)

Back in 2004 a new British comedy horror flick arrived out of nowhere and landed our desks. The parody-esque slasher feature was called 'Freak Out' and was a great little low-budget production which kept our team chuckling away. Now 8 years on Brit duo Christian James and Dan Palmer are back with their new comedy horror effort 'Stalled'. It's Christmas time zombies, with guaranteed toilet humour all the way and we have caught an early glimpse at the new bloody one-sheet from the project. James helms from a script penned by Dan Palmer who also stars as the suitably named maintenance man W.C. Antonia Bernath ('Lykke'), Tamaryn Payne ('Hollyoaks'), Mark Holden, Giles Alderson, Victoria Broom, Mark Kelly and Victoria Eldon all co-star.

Polly (Laura Fraser) works with Professor Julian Greengrass (Richard E Grant) in a generic “science lab”, running tests on something to do with heart disease. When she is not there, she is holed up in her dark apartment where she starts to hear voices. Professor Greengrass is infatuated with her, her boyfriend Chapman (Adam Fenton) keeps wandering off and her sister Jimi (Antonia Bernath) won’t leave her alone. She is concerned that she is losing her hold on reality. We are concerned that we might not reach the end of the film still awake.

Doralba reviews the British drama, Cuckoo, and finds a brooding, paranoid movie, with a particularly creepy performance by Richard E Grant...
Writer/director Richard Bracewell has put together a little gem of a movie here, a disturbing little thriller which will keep you engrossed for its duration and get you to do a lot of thinking about it afterwards.
This is independent British cinema at its best, a thought-provoking feature where there are no clear demarcations of either guilt or reality and the atmosphere is rarefied and eerie, unsettling without being scary.
Helped by well-scripted dialogue, Laura Fraser (a hot property at the moment, you can also see her in the BBC3 drama Lip Service) gives a beautifully controlled if a tad neurotic performance, which always keeps you guessing as to whether her character Polly is losing her mind or not.
The support cast delivers great and subdued acting. Richard E Grant...

Helen sure did make a niche for herself in the fickle Bollywood industry, but what about the rest? Every year there are foreign imports, who make it huge with one film, and vanish into thin air. So just what goes wrong?! Where do they disappear, when they hit the jackpot?

Chicago – Lionsgate and After Dark Films’ recently released their third collection of “8 Films to Die For” and this year proved to be the most uninspiring octet to date. With fewer risks taken than the last two years and less extreme failures or successes, “After Dark Horrorfest III” is terrifyingly dull.
Overall DVD Rating: 2.0/5.0 What makes this year’s collection rather forgettable is the lack of extremes on either side of the rating spectrum. The first two years produced some truly excellent genre gems including “Borderland,” “The Hamiltons,” and “The Abandoned.” At the same time, movies like “Dead Lake,” “Undead,” and “Nightmare Man” should be buried in a deep hole and never see the light of day again.
I have to admit that I liked the variety in quality of the last two years more than this year, when nearly every film registered as forgettable more than good or bad. There was one notable standout,...

After Dark Films have shared out a sneak peek into "Slaughter (2009)", one of the selections for After Dark Horrorfest III's "8 Films to Die for". Highlighting that the movie is inspired by true events happening in a remote farm near Atlanta, the newly-released trailer gives the idea that the movie will be violent, gruesome and unthinkable.
Opened with a far shot of a serene farm house, the trailer moves on showing that a young woman is answering an ads for roommate. It then continues showing that the woman is quick to befriend her new roommate when she settles down at the farm. But, soon she discovers that something has gone wrong at the remote place and that it offers terrifying forms of abuse.
Directed by Stewart Hopewell, "Slaughter" stars Antonia Bernath, Craig Robert Young, Lucy Holt, Maxim Knight and David Sterne. The horror movie will be premiered at After Dark Horrorfest...

LONDON -- U.K. production banner Punk Cinema, founded and run by director Richard Bracewell and producer Tony Bracewell, has lined up Richard E. Grant, Laura Fraser and Tamsin Greig for Richard Bracewell's second movie outing, "Cuckoo".
The movie, billed as a thriller about lies, jealousy and betrayal, is set in London and centers on a disgruntled female medical researcher with a rock star boyfriend. She starts hearing noises at night and toys with the idea she might be losing her mind.
Fraser will play lead character Polly while Grant stars as Polly's boss. Other cast includes Adam Fenton and Antonia Bernath.
Punk Cinema burst onto the production scene here with its underground cult hit "The Gigolos", which premiered at AFI Fest 2005 in Los Angeles.
Tony and Richard Bracewell will produce "Cuckoo", which is scheduled to begin shooting in December on location in London and Norfolk.
Richard Bracewell said that he wrote the screenplay while renting a small flat in south London with his heavily pregnant partner, which fueled the script idea.
