We’re at the first stage of opening the country back up, but there are still plenty of great films and TV shows to watch on Horror Channel each week. Here are some of our favourites this week:
Tuesday April 13th, 9pm – Bad Samaritan (2018)
Former Doctor Who David Tennant shows a darker side to his range with this tale of a parking valet (Robert Sheehan) who has a side-line as a burglar. Things get nasty when he discovers a kidnapped woman in the house of one of his rich victims.
Wednesday April 14th, 9pm – Lake Placid (1999)
The first – and best – of the franchise in which a large crocodile causes mayhem in a picturesque lake in Maine. It’s written by TV legend David E. Kelley and has a weighty cast including Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, and Betty White.
Friday April 16th, 1pm Sharknado (2013)
Here’s where it all started! Mockbuster champs The Asylum captured the world’s imagination with their so-bad-they’re-good series of shark-based disaster movies. Tara Reid (of course) and John Heard are amongst the cast doing battle against CGI great whites.
Saturday April 17th, 12.50am – Road Games (2015)
Not to be confused with the 1981 Australian shocker, this one sees a British hitchhiker who has lost his luggage and his girlfriend trying to get home. He teams up with a female French drifter for safety when she tells him there’s a serial killer who prowls the area. This impressive chiller also features horror royalty Barbara Crampton.
Sunday April 18th, 9pm – The Innkeepers (2011)
Ti West (House of the Devil) wrote and directed this superbly creepy ghost story. Two employees are working their last shift at the Yankee Pendlar Inn before it closes and hope to capture proof of the alleged supernatural goings-on. It features a fantastic cast, too: the underappreciated Sara Paxton and Pat Healy, and Top Gun star Kelly McGillis.
Tune into Horror Channel on Sky 317, Virgin 149, Freeview 68, Freesat 138.
