BloodGuts UK Horror Awards 2014 - The Stars

Best Actor

  • Dan Stevens (The Guest)

Dan Stevens unsettling performance from boy next door to maniacal psycho is a perfect cast. From the the first time he knocks on the door with a welcoming smile, the ensueing chaos is as unpredictable as it is humourous to watch. A worthy note also goes to nominee Noah Wiseman, the youngest of our nominations his brilliant show in 'The Babadook' out performs many of his senior peers.

 

Nominated:

  • Frank Grillo (The Purge: Anarchy)

  • Kaj-Erik Erikson (See No Evil 2)

  • Tom Hiddleston (Only Lovers Left Alive)

  • Noah Wiseman (The Babadook)

 

Best Actress

  • Essie Davis (The Babadook)

'The Babadook' has been the most talked about film of the year, some agree with that it is the scariest film of the year and others found it a little behind the hype however wone thing everyone can agree with is Essie Davis' performance. Driven insane by her situation as a single mother to a, quite honestly, distressing young son. The pain she is going through can be felt through the screen and from moments of outburst to loving grasp, her character is so believable that she so strongly deserves recognition in more awards for the year.

 

Nominated:

  • Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes)

  • Rose Leslie (Honeymoon)

  • Scarlett Johansson (Under the Skin)

  • Tilda Swinton (Only Lovers Left Alive)

 

Best Supporting Actor

  • Gene Jones (The Sacrament)

Award for most unsettling character of the year goes to "Father". Gene Jones portrays the sinister dictatorish convent leader as the vry loose (it's not even been confirmed but is evidentally inspired) adaptation of the Jonestown massacre with an iron fist and captures his charisma and charm as much as it does a much more evil side. 

 

Nominated:

  • Joel McHale (Deliver Us From Evil)

  • Max Minghella (Horns)

  • Michael Shannon (The Harvest)

  • John Hurt (Only Lovers Left Alive)

 

Best Supporting Actress

  • Zoe Soul (The Purge: Anarchy)

With a whole bunch of stars gracing the screen, 'The Purge: Anarchy' may be the platform to launch plenty of careers in film. None more so than young star Zoe Soul who's emotive drive to survive the night carries the film as much as that of the protective Frank Grillo.

 

Nominated:

  • Maria Olsen (Starry Eyes)

  • Mia Wasikowska (Only Lovers Left Alive)

  • Anna Kendrick (Life After Beth)

  • Olivia Munn (Deliver Us From Evil)

 

Best Actor/Actress in an Independent Film

  • Jasna Kohoutova (Chimeres)

 

 

'Chimeres' has two shining stars in Yannick and Jasna and the recipient of this award is marginal only to excel on this film as much a story about Livia as it is about Alex. The emotional love story between human and vampire is bond that extends further than death as the journey doesn't end when death intervenes.

 

Nominated:

  • Ellen Mullen (The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann)

  • Heather Dorff (Truth or Dare)

  • Roy Abramsohn (Escape From Tomorrow)

  • Yannick Rosset (Chimeres)
