Here are some of our picks for the next seven days on Horror Channel:
Wednesday June 23rd, 9pm – The Super (2017)
Patrick John Fleuger plays a new superintendent of an apartment building where some mysterious disappearances are taking place. When his daughter becomes obsessed with one of his colleagues (played by Val Kilmer), he begins to suspect he is behind the missing tenants. Kilmer is fantastic as the creepy janitor.
Thursday June 24th, 9pm – Retreat (2011)
Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy and Westworlds’ Thandiwe Newton play a couple who have the peace of their remote getaway cottage spoiled when Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) suddenly arrives claiming that there is an airborne disease that has wiped out a lot of the population and they are survivors. Do they believe him or does he have a more sinister motive for being there?
Friday June 25th, 9pm – It Came From the Desert (2017)
Based on the classic video game, this one proves you can adapt them successfully. Wonderful low budget thrills abound as a celebration following a motocross tournament gets disturbed by mutant ants from the nearby military base.
Saturday June 26th, 10.50pm – The Cleaning Lady (2018)
Alexis Kendra (who also co-wrote) plays a seemingly perfect woman, except that she’s having an affair with a married man. She begins to confide in her cleaning lady (Rachel Alig), who is hideously disfigured following a fire. Unfortunately, her scars are more than skin deep. A brilliant indie gem.
Sunday June 27th, 9pm – The ‘Burbs (1988)
Joe Dante’s brilliant cult dark comedy has been rediscovered over the past few years. A cracking cast – including Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, and Corey Feldman – is just one reason not to miss this twisted look into clean-living suburbia and neighbourly suspicions.
