Hi Film Folk!
This week sees the release of Sightseers’, a dark comedy thriller set in the countryside. But where did all these chilling and humourous British films, such as Kill List and Down Terrace, come from? The answer is the director The Film Doctor Team have chosen for this week’s Fun Friday:
