As we deck our halls (or something like that) we look forward to another great week of films and TV on Legend. Here are our picks you shouldn’t miss this week…

 

 

Tuesday December 13th, 9pm – The Rezort (2015)

Would you like to have a safari holiday where, instead of hunting poor defenceless animals, your prey is zombies? Certainly sounds the better option to us! That’s the premise of this fun film from Outpost director Steve Barker.

 

 

Wednesday December 14th, 9pm – Christine (1983)  

John Carpenter’s fabulous adaptation of the Stephen King novel stars Keith Gordon as the lad with a psychotic 1958 Plymouth Fury.

 

 

Friday December 16th, 1pm – Silent Running (1972)

Way ahead of its time in terms of the conservation theme, Douglas Trumball’s reflective and visually stunning movie is unmissable. Bruce Dern is the astronaut looking after an ecosystem in space with the help of his drones, Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

 

 

Saturday December 17th, 9pm Shout at the Devil (1976)

Fun African-set action and adventure with Lee Marvin and Roger Moore set on the eve of World War I, which interrupts the pair’s business dealings.

 

 

Sunday December 18th, 9pm – 12.45am The Vintage Vault

Legend continues to celebrate the Golden Age of genre cinema with a season of double bills. This week, there are a couple of latter-day Hammer offerings from 1971. Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde is a gender-bending spin on the classic story with Ralph Bates and Martine Beswick. Next up is Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb, which is based on a Bram Stoker tale starring Valerie Leon and Andrew Kier.
