Synopsis:
Cinema of Horror is a contemporary, fast paced, character driven piece, which focuses on the relationship between three final year film studies students. The central story revolves around a heated debate over current trends in Asian (mainly Far East) Cinema Extreme. Each character plays out their feelings in a series of fantasy sequences reflecting their cinematic interest and viewpoint.
