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 2nd, 9pm – Night of the Living Dead (1990)

Special makeup effects legend Tom Savini takes the director’s chair for this remake of George A. Romero’s seminal zombie film. Savini brings the gore and puts horror legend Tony Todd front and centre. It’s a fresh approach to the original that respects and updates the story.

Wednesday February 3rd, 10.55pm – I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

Another remake, this time of the rape/revenge exploitation classic. This version was just as controversial and was banned in New Zealand. It’s disturbing viewing but very well made.

Thursday February 4th, 10.50pm – The Burning (1981)

Speaking of being banned, this classic was on the DPP Video Nasty list in the dark old days of VHS. It’s a superior summer camp slasher that features the first screen appearances from Holly Hunter, Fisher Stevens and Jason Alexander. The soundtrack by Rick Wakeman is brilliant, too.

Saturday February 6th, 9pm – Eat Locals (2017)

Here’s a fun, low budget British vampire film directed by Lock Stock’s Jason Flemying. It stars familiar faces such as Charlie Cox, Freema Agyeman, Dexter Fletcher, Mackenzie Crook, Eve Myles, as well as horror stalwarts [you what? – Ed] Ruth Jones and Annette Crosbie, who give it their all and don’t take the subject matter too seriously.

Sunday February 7th, 9pm – Matriarch (2019)
When a couple crash their car in the remote Scottish countryside, they are taken in by a local farmer. The couple then realise that the farmer’s daughter looks remarkably like a young girl who went missing a few years earlier. Be warned, this one’s as dark as they come!
