To save you getting lockdown blues, we’re going to be giving you our picks of what to watch on Horror Channel each week. Here are some of our favourites this week:

Tuesday February 9th, 10.50pm – Ibiza Undead (2006)

We know most people are zombied out now, but since many of us haven’t had a holiday for so long, why not watch a bunch of obnoxious youngsters face off with the undead?

Wednesday February 10th, 9pm – When a Stranger Calls (2006)

A remake of the 1979 movie, or at least of the classic first 20mins. It’s cute to see all the old mobiles, but the phone-phobic of us will still have palpations with every ring. Spoilerific trivia: Lance Henriksen plays the voice on the end of the call, but not when we see him in person!

Thursday February 11th, 9am – The Bay (2012)

Noted ‘serious’ director Barry Levinson (Good Morning, Vietnam) turns his hand to found footage horror with this tale of a small seaside town whose water supply is having disturbing and horrific effects on them. One of the better shaky-cam films

Saturday February 13th, 9pm – The One (2001)

Jet Li travels through parallel universes to do away with other versions of himself in order to be the titular ‘One’ – a super-powered being. It’s got crazy, high velocity action and Jason Statham. What more do you want?

Sunday February 14th, 9pm – Village of the Damned (1995)
John Carpenter take on the classic John Wyndham tale The Midwich Cuckoos (previously filmed in 1960) may not pack as much of a punch as his take on The Thing, but is still a chilling watch. It stars Christopher Reeve (in his last role before his tragic accident), Kirstie Alley, and Mark Hamill and was made in the same town that Carpenter filmed The Fog.

Tune into Horror Channel on Sky 317, Virgin 149, Freeview 68, Freesat 138.
