Martin Compston: First Trailer For UK Teen Slasher ‘Comedown’

Bloody Disgusting has landed the trailer for Menhaj Huda’s UK horror-thriller Comedown, an urban horror film set against a contemporary London backdrop of abandonment and decay.
Arriving on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download on January 28, Martin Compston, Geoff Bell, Adam Deacon, Red Madrell and Charleene Rena will all star.

Penned by Steven Kendall, “Six friends, who’ve known each other from childhood, break into the tower block they lived in as kids, now deserted and condemned, to rig-up a pirate radio station, get high and party. When one of the group goes missing, her friends begin to search the dark interior of the tower and soon realize that they are not alone: a resident psychopath lurks in the shadows and is hunting them down, taking them out, one-by-one.“

New interview with Martin Compston

Martin Compston did an interview with the Daily Record right before the Edinburgh International Film Festival opens this Wednesday. Two of Martin's films will be screened at the festival - SoulBoy and Donkeys. SoulBoy premieres on Saturday at Cineworld and Donkeys premieres next Sunday at The Filmhouse. The full interview was published yesterday:

Edinburgh comes at a good time for Martin. He is taking a six-week break, having had minor surgery on an ear complaint and cracking a rib filming upcoming prison drama Ghost.

But he'll soon be setting his sights on cracking America.

Having enjoyed mainstream success in the UK with The Disappearance of Alice Creed, the film is about to open across the pond and he's been signed up by the same US agent who represents Avatar's Sam Worthington.

He said: "I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.

"I'm just taking my time and trying to pick good projects."

He has no shortage of offers. He's already got the slasher horror Comedown in the bag. When his ear and rib mend, he is off to learn how to surf for buddy movie In Between The Waves. [Steve Hendry]
