A NEW horror film is being shot in North Wales and Chester.
Hollywood star Spencer Wilding was back in North Wales recently to shoot the independent horror film called Blood/Stream.
Squeezed between appearances at major comic cons in America and an appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, 'Big Spen' shot scenes for the film.
The film also stars horror icon Barbie Wilde, who played the Female Cenobite in Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, and Chester-based actor Nathan Head.

The movie is an anthology, in the style of "Tales from the Crypt" and the "V/H/S" franchise, with Spencer Wilding appearing in a chapter called Fox and the Hen, which was filmed on location and Mindale Farm in Meliden, near Prestatyn.
Other filming locations have included Wrexham's Table Taps bar, Shotton in Flintshire, and the Saddle Inn pub in Chester.

Producer Mark Adams said: "Spencer's performance is intense and mesmerising, exactly what you want for a horror movie.
"He is no stranger to horror having played the Wolfman, as well as the iconic Darth Vader, but this might be Spencer's most terrifying performance yet. We are so excited for people to see it."
Blood/Stream is currently being crowdfunded, giving film fans the chance to get in early and be part of making the film the best it can be.

Each focus on a different aspect of the human body, and combines chilling scares, smart ideas, and an inevitable gore-fest of bloodletting.
