Five Films to Check Out on Horror Channel This Week – 140322

We have some more great picks from what’s on this week on Horror Channel….

 

 

Monday March 14th, 11pm – The Burning (1981)

A fantastic, iconic slasher from the golden age of video nasties as a horribly scarred groundskeeper returns to get revenge on the campers who maimed him. A great synth score by Rick Wakeman and appearances from Holly Hunter, Fisher Stevens, and Jason Alexander makes it a must-see.

 

 

Wednesday March 16th, 9pm – Evil Dead II (1987)

Sam Raimi’s sequel-cum-remake of his fantastic debut is as gruesome as the first but is also riotously funny. Bruce Campbell cements his legendary Ash character perfectly. Groovy!

 

 

Friday  March 18th, 10.55pm Castle Freak (2020)

A remake of the 1995 Stuart Gordon shocker, this Barbara Crampton-produced film draws a little more inspiration from H.G. Lovecraft than the original.

 

 

Saturday March 19th, 10.45pm – Dead Ringers (1988)

Jeremy Irons plays identical twins who both work as gynaecologists in David Cronenberg’s superb body horror. Geneviève Bujold is the woman who tears them apart.

 

 

Sunday March 20th, 9pm – Paradise Cove (2018)

A homeless woman terrorises a couple who hope to renovate a beach house. American Beauty/Pie’s Mena Suvari stars alongside Todd Grinnell.

Tune into Horror Channel on Sky 317, Virgin 149, Freeview 69, Freesat 138.
