Wednesday December 23th, 10.50pm – Scanners (1981)
David Cronenberg – the king of body horror – had his mainstream breakthrough with this head-exploding classic. Michael Ironside as one of the telekinetic few who wants to take down a company who look to weaponise the ‘scanners’.
Thursday December 24th, 4pm – This Island Earth (1955)
A genuine sci-fi classic in which aliens contact a group of scientists to help them on their home planet, which is at war with a neighbouring race. Featuring the memorable Metaluna Mutant, this is a Christmas treat you won’t want to miss.
