FrigthFest Glascow Top 5 Films
Arrow Video FrigthFest Glasgow 2019 was this weekend, and ‘Finale’ did very well there, I am proud to say.
Hollywood News did a fine review written by Kat Hughes, calling ‘Finale’ “A strong start for a first-time feature director, Søren Juul Petersen’s Finale shows a lot of promise.”
[image error]Entertainment Focus was even happier and placed ‘Finale’ on their Top 5 list over the best films shown at FrigthFest this year.
And gave ‘Finale’ a great review, saying: “Where Finale really excels is in building the tension. It doesn’t waste any time getting into the story and I was on the edge of my seat for the entire film. In fact the climax was so tense, I wondered if I would make it to the credits before my nerves were shredded.”
