Prepare to see the kid from Outnumbered in a very different way: Tyger Drew-Honey, who used to play Jake in the family comedy, has now turned 18 - and to celebrate, he's made a series of documentaries for BBC Three. And the first one just so happens to be about porn...

"It's something that's a hot topic at the moment and does need to be addressed," Tyger told Digital Spy. "It's different in our generation compared to other generations, in respect to how we can access porn. Also, just because of my life and the fact that it's a career that my parents have been involved in and stuff like that - I have a slightly different view of it from other people."

Yes, Tyger's mum is adult movie star Linzi Drew, while his dad just happens to be famous adult film star and director Ben Dover. We caught up with...

For most of us the August Bank Holiday weekend means barbeques, beer on the village green and meeting up with the friends you’ve ignored for weeks but FilmShaft’s Ed Whitfield, having received no invitation to eat charcoaled meat went to London’s premier horror film festival instead. One week on, he’s finally ready to talk about what he saw there. Dare you read on?

I’m not a horror aficionado. Having cut my corneas on Huston, Hitchcock and Verhoven, there seemed to me something witless and crude about ninety percent of the genre’s staples.

Breaking news from Film 4 Frightfest. During an on-stage Q&A with John Landis and many of the crew and some cast (read: Linzi Drew) of An American Werewolf in London, Landis dropped a couple nice little nuggets of horror news. He had apparently been offered a picture called The Knights of Bad-assdom (my hyphen) but turned it down and directed the producers instead to who he considered the right man for the job. That man is Wrong Turn 2’s Joe Lynch, and according to Landis he’s the guy particularly because the film deals with video games and Lynch reportedly knows all about them. Not a great deal to go on, so after the Q&A wrapped, I scooted up to Lynch and asked for more info. He told me that the project is casting now and should start shooting in October. Pushed for even more he described it...
