Here are some great reasons to tune into Horror Channel this week….

Wednesday August 11th, 10.50pm – The Innkeepers (2011)

As the Yankee Pedlar Inn is closing its doors forever, two employees try to get to the bottom of the apparent supernatural happenings. Written and directed by Ti West (The House of the Devil) and starring the fantastic Sara Paxton and Pat Healy.

Thursday August 12th, 1am – Another Wolfcop (2017)

Hairy officer Lou Garou is back in Lowell Dean’s sequel to his 2014 indie hit. It continues the riotous gory fun that the first movie began, and is well worth staying up for. Watch out for Kevin Smith as the mayor.

Friday August 13th, 4pm – Bermuda Tentacles (2014)

Low-rent fun from The Asylum in which the Navy must save the president when Air Force One crashes in the Bermuda Triangle. Unfortunately, the rescue disturbs a giant creature that could destroy the world. It stars Trevor Donovan (90210), Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), John Savage (The Deer Hunter), Jamie Kennedy (Scream), and some ropey CGI effects. Knock off early on Friday, grab a beer, and have a laugh.

Saturday August 14th, 9pm – Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

The third entry in the franchise based on the popular video game was directed by Russell Mulcahy (Highlander) from Paul W.S. Anderson’s script. Milla Jovovich’s Alice must trek across the Mojave desert with some other Raccoon City survivors in an attempt to get to Alaska. Meanwhile, the T-virus is spreading…

Sunday August 15th, 9pm – You’re Next (2011)

Fantastic home invasion slasher directed by Adam Wingard (Godzilla vs Kong). Cult favourites A.J. Bowen, Barbara Crampton, and Joe Swanberg are among the cast in the film that made animal masks much more sinister.

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