Scots scarer tops film festival bill

A Scottish horror movie featuring an ancient evil stalking an Edinburgh housing estate has been chosen to open part of one of the world’s “coolest” film festivals.

Outcast, starring James Nesbitt and Kate Dickie, will receive its world première at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival in Austin, Texas next month.
