Us Brits do comedy horror pretty well. Of course, everyone around the world knows about Shaun of the Dead but there’s along list of other great films in the sub genre. From Lesbian Vampire Killers to Severance to Doghouse to Inbred to Stitches to Sightseers. These cover all different types of comedy and horror too, so Killer Weekend does have plenty of competition (or good company).
As well as comedy horror, people from Britain are also known for being pretty good at ‘Stag do’s’ (bachelor parties) and Killer Weekend mixes both of these together. A group of friends and the father of the bride embark on a paint-ball war against the undead only things don’t go as...

Tagline: "It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Gets Hurt." The horror comedy Fubar is coming to audiences in the United Kingdom. From director Ben Kent (Love Bug), Fubar involves a wedding Stag and an old nuclear bunker. When the group opens the door to the bunker, something is released and a strange situation develops. This zombie title has been making its rounds on the film festival circuit; Fubar had a recent appearance at the LAMANOFest in Spain, this past November. Now, Fubar is getting set to release on DVD and Digital platforms, shortly. Fubar stars: Mark Heap (The World's End), Sean Verey (Dead Man Running), Danny Kirrane and David Mumeni. A preview of the film's impending UK home entertainment release is available here. A few early reviews have come in for Fubar. As a sidenote, Fubar is an old World War II and acronym. Its meaning should be known to everyone by now.

Pramface has received a new trailer for its upcoming third series.
Scarlett Alice Johnson and Sean Michael Verey star in the sitcom, which sees the pair play young parents Laura and Jamie.
Yasmin Paige, Emer Kenny and Angus Deayton will also reprise their roles for the new series, which was commissioned back in April and is coming soon to BBC Three.
Pramface originally launched in February 2012, with its second series airing in early 2013.
The last series bowed out on February 19 with 580,000 viewers.
"At the end of [the] second series, Jamie and Laura's relationship has changed somewhat from the beginning of the series," star Johnson told Digital Spy in January. "So it would be really lovely... for that to be explored a bit more."

Jamie and Laura are back, and now they’ve got the baby in tow. The second season opens with our non-couple in the thick of parenting, and few ideas about how to cope. They can’t even pick a name, and time’s running out, because everyone is involved in planning the Christening.
Pramface delivered a lot of laughs in the first season, and the truly ensemble show doesn’t let up for the second. A wonderfully clever series that makes great use of its entire cast, Pramface is a fast-paced vehicle that manages to explore not only the teenagers, but their parents as well, and strips away the varnish to show off how people really are. Well, sort of.
The first season’s drunken one-night stand that turned into teen pregnancy takes off, as I said, in the parenting trenches, but Jamie and Laura also have to deal with their friends,...

Him & Her is to return to BBC Three for a fourth and final series.
The six-part Him & Her: The Wedding - starring Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemani - will be set entirely during Laura's (Kerry Howard) wedding.
In addition, the channel has recommissioned Pramface - the sitcom, which stars Scarlett Alice Johnson and Sean Michael Verey as two young parents, will return for a third series.
Alongside the two returning series, BBC Three controller Zai Bennett has also ordered several new comedies for TV and online.
Uncle stars stand-up comedian Nick Helm as Andy, a dissolute out-of work musician who forges an unlikely alliance with his 11-year-old nephew, while People Just Do Nothing is a mockumentary about pirate radio station Kurupt FM and its crew.
In addition, eight comedy pilots have been commissioned for BBC iPlayer to showcase up-and-coming comedy talent.

Pramface is a new 6-part comedy series, about two teenagers trying, and often failing, to come to terms with impending parenthood, coming to BBC Three.
Laura, 18, and Jamie, 16, meet at a sixth form party after completing their respective A-Level and Gcse exams. But little can prepare them for the result of their brief, drunken hook-up.
From the moment Laura discovers she is pregnant, the series follows the couple as they face the big moments and even bigger decisions about life and responsibility across those all important nine months.
Scarlett Alice Johnson (represented by United Agents), who played Vicki Fowler in EastEnders back in 2003, stars as Laura Derbyshire, an 18 year old who has everything going for her. After years of conscientious study she excelled in her exams and in a few weeks she’ll be escaping home for university and independence. This is all coming at the right time for Laura,...
