“Hotel Portofino,” starring Natascha McElhone, has returned to Croatia after a summer break to finish filming its second season. It is so far the biggest project filmed in Croatia this year, Film New Europe reports.
The producers of the period drama, created by Matt Baker and directed by Adam Wimpenny, are making use of Croatia’s 25 cash rebate for the second year in a row. Sixty filming days are planned, according to the Croatian Audiovisual Center.
Tanja Ladović Blažević, head of Filming in Croatia, a department within the Croatian Audiovisual Center, told Fne: “We are especially proud to see an exceptional amount of Croatian professionals engaged in the project. There are 135 Croatian crew members, including 13 out of 14 heads of departments. In addition to that, more than 800 extras have been engaged in filming.”
The second season of “Hotel Portofino” started filming in July, and is resuming now after the summer break.

Having recovered from a shattering emotional breakdown, college professor Ben Marshall relocates to the countryside with his wife and young son, hoping for a fresh start. He has a teaching job lined up and a new home to move into; things finally look to be going Ben’s way. Until, that is, he starts to feel that something isn’t quite right in the house. Finding himself plagued by spectral visions, Ben becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind a local mystery that appears to be putting the lives of his family in danger.
Within the first few minutes of Blackwood, I had a general idea of what to expect from the film. It all became clear after Ben says the line: “Once I’m onto something,...

As the release of his debut feature Blackwood edges ever closer, we had the pleasure of catching up with British director Adam Wimpenny, to discuss the brooding, psychological thriller.
Wimpenny discusses how he came to be involved in the project, and how he went about remaining faithful to the tropes of the ‘ghost story’ genre, and yet remain unique in his own right. He also tells us if he too is able to feel the suspense of the piece as an audience member, and a little about his sophomore endeavour, The Mandrake Experiment.
So how did you first get involved in Blackwood, and what was it that attracted you to the project?
I worked with Adam Morane-Griffiths the producer, and Joe Hill, the writer, ans we teamed up eight or nine years ago. We met through mutual friends and we all liked similar projects, so we made a short film with Russell Tovey,...

★★☆☆☆The haunted house has become such a recurring trope in horror literature and cinema that it's now a bona fide sub-genre in its own right. From modern semis to labyrinthine old mansions, there's little that's more innately spooky than feeling unnerved in one's own home, while filmmakers have utilised that communal fear sublimely in offerings from The Haunting (1963) to The Innkeepers (2011). The latest British entry into this communion comes in the form of Blackwood (2013), the feature debut from director Adam Wimpenny, based on the first screenplay by artist J.S. Hill. It's a strange film with some interesting ideas that ultimately rest on perfunctory storytelling, leaving the piece short on tension.

This is the Pure Movies review of Blackwood, directed by Adam Wimpenny and starring Ed Stoppard, Sophia Myles, Isaac Andrews and Russell Tovey. Written by Dan Higgins for Pure Movies. When you move into a large empty manor in the middle of the countryside, with a signpost saying Blackwood, you should know that there’s probably going to be some unsettling moments. Unless they bought the house blind, they apparently hadn’t noticed before the four locks on one bedroom door, an eerie figure lurking in a window in a painting of the house on the wall, the clocks not working but still chiming loudly at random and a constant low mist. Then there’s the dishevelled groundskeeper in the woods cooking a rabbit under a full moon. It’s the classic set-up of a horror film. They should’ve seen the signs really. Or at least the signpost.

Families moving into creepy haunted houses then things going bump in the night are the backbone of horror. It’s finding that slight tweak to the usual tropes that keeps things fresh. Debut filmmakers, director Adam Wimpenny and writer J.S. Hill have attempted that with British horror Blackwood, combining a traditional haunting with a psychological crime drama, and it’s executed very well.
College professor Ben Marshall (Ed Stoppard) wants a fresh start for his family, wife Rachel (Sophia Myles) and young son (Isaac Andrews), and moves them to a country house recently vacated by an old lady. As the Marshalls begin settling in, Ben begins witnessing presences, first thinking it’s his son playing around. When he then starts seeing ghosts, he goes looking for answers, investigating in particular, the history of former grounds man and ex-forces man Jack (Russell Tovey) while suspecting local vicar Father Patrick (Paul Kaye) of a cover up.

Shorts International has put a "Halloween Shorts" series up for purchase on iTunes, and one of the films, "Roar," is available for a free download if you're in the Us or Canada. I'm still abroad and can't actually see it myself, but "Roar," directed by Adam Wimpenny, stars "Being Human" charmer Russell Tovey, which should make it worth a watch regardless.
