Screenbound Pictures recently released the brilliant Brit-horror Followers on Blu-ray and digital here in the UK. The found footage horror from late director Marcus Harben garnered early praise at 2021’s FrightFest before holding a number of theatrical screenings across the country at Vue Cinemas. Today, Neil is sitting down with two of the film’s stars – Erin Austen and Harry Jarvis – for an in-depth interview on how the film came to lift.
Check out their full interview in the player below:
In the film, Jonty (Jarvis), a failing influencer with an ambition to reach over a million followers, will stop at nothing to become famous. A new start at University brings with it hopes of a resurgence in his popularity when a demonic presence appears in his student house. Jonty decides to stream his and his housemates experiences with this supernatural entity to gain the fame and fortune he’s most been craving. But at what cost?
In my ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of Followers I said “[the film] is a suspenseful and tense horror which pulls from the best aspects of satire with darkly comedic results.“
You can also listen to the interview, in full, in the latest edition of the GYCO Podcast which is available now on all major platforms.
