Back in August 2012 when the world’s attention was squarely focussed on London, down in Wales, and in point of fact Bridgend, a quiet town just outside Cardiff, in a warehouse in an industrial estate of all places, a brand new science fiction film was being filmed, one that takes place in a world dissimilar enough to where we are. “We haven’t seen much of it [Bridgend] because we’ve been filming in here [The Warehouse], this is an underground bunker, and we’re shooting in a real MoD site in St. Athans, which is just outside Cardiff, so we’re using that as the exterior.” producer John Giwa-Amu tells us as we sit down for an introduction to The Machine in the back of the warehouse, where light breaks into the room just enough to remind some of the cast and crew what the outside world is like.

Last month we took a trip to Nottingham, England's cinephile haven Broadway Cinema for four days of eclectic genre programming at the 2013 Mayhem Horror Film Festival. Check in right here for a look at some of the sights and reviews from the East Midlands' premier horror fest.
The festival kicked off on Thursday 31st October with a special screening of director Nicholas Roeg's Don't Look Now and Puffball, taking place in the special environs of St. Mary's Church with Roeg himself in attendance to introduce and officially open this year's event.
Topping off the evening was Vincenzo Natali's underwhelming Haunter (review here).
While we weren't around for that particular evening's events, the following three days saw a schedule packed to the gills with guests, impromptu trivia-based giveaways, and screenings unfolding before and behind the Broadway's gorgeous red curtains, including:
