While we wait for the weather to pick up, there’s even more chances to catch some great films and TV shows on Horror Channel each week. Here are some of our picks for the next seven days:
Tuesday May 11th, 8pm – Extant
This high concept sci-fi series is well worth checking out. Halle Berry stars as an astronaut who returns from space pregnant and to find her husband has developed a life-like android child. Check out our interview with the show’s creator Mickey Fisher here.
Wednesday May 12th, 9pm – The Final Girls (2015)
While attending a screening honouring her mother, a famous scream queen, a teenager (Taissa Farmiga) and her pals escape a fire in the cinema by cutting their way through the screen. By doing so, they become part of the movie. A cracking meta horror with plenty of laughs along with the frights.
Thursday May 13th, 9pm – The Pact
A very impressive debut feature from Nicholas McCarthy, it has a creepy house, faces coming through the wallpaper, and Casper Van Dien as a world-weary cop. Effective scares and a decent story, too.
Friday May 14th, 4pm – The Body Stealers (1969)
Classic British chills as paratroopers disappear mid-air. A great cast – George Sanders (Village of the Damned), Maurice Evans (Dr Zaius himself!), and Patrick Allen (whose voice became more famous than he was) – and a spaceship repurposed from Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. make it unmissable.
Saturday May 15th, 9pm – Paranormal Activity (2007)
One of the highest grossing films ever compared to budget. Using the found footage style, this tale of a couple experiencing a haunting in their home is very effective and still has the power to get under your skin. The film kicks off Supernatural Week on Horror Channel, so there are plenty of spooky movies to look forward to!
Tune into Horror Channel on Sky 317, Virgin 149, Freeview 68, Freesat 138.
