Now we’re finally in the month of bank holidays, some actual sun and the promise of long evenings and warm days, it’s about time you started planning for the summer spent indoors watching gloomy horror movies.
To celebrate the release of the utterly tense, claustrophobic and overwhelmingly effective chiller The Facility on DVD and Download on Monday 6 May, we’ve got copies to give away to two of our Twitter followers!
To the release of Bait on DVD and Blu-ray (2D & 3D) on Monday 29 April, we’ve got a bundle of horror DVDs (Silent House, Chernobyl Diaries, The Loved Ones, Road Train, I Saw The Devil and Cockneys VS Zombies) to give away to one of our Twitter followers!
Rob Zombie returns spectacularly to form with The Lords of Salem, out on DVD this week, a visually and aurally stunning ode to 1970s horror cinema. To celebrate the release, we’ve got a copy to give away to one of our Twitter followers!
It seems every single classic (or not so classic) horror movie from the ‘70s and ‘80s is getting its own remake lately.
It’s a little surprising, then, that it’s taken so long for the profit-hungry executives to get round to milking the Evil Dead franchise for all its worth. By all accounts a lot more serious than Sam Raimi’s slapstick-gore original, it’s fitting that Evil Dead 2, the series’ high-point, gets a re-release on DVD and Blu-ray to coincide with the new movie’s arrival in UK cinemas.
To celebrate the release of Evil Dead in cinemas on Thursday 18 April, we’ve got an amazing bundle of horror DVDs (including The Orphanage, Wolf Creek, Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark, Julia’s Eyes, Orphan, Silent House and Kill List) to give away to one of our Twitter followers!
So, you’ve scoffed all the chocolate, watched the umpteenth repeat of Uncle Buck on TV and vaguely pondered the true meaning of this extended bank holiday. What now, very few people ask.
Well, how about a bevy of horror releases and a documentary about one of the greatest films of that genre? More chocolate? Sorry, it’ll have to be the movies.
Dark Skies, the new supernatural thriller from producer Jason Blum, explodes in to UK cinemas on Wednesday 3 April. To celebrate the release, we’ve got horror DVD bundles (featuring Insidious, Sinister and The Woman In Black) to give away to five of our Twitter followers!
Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead is a seminal piece of cinema. It’s also not especially good.
That might be a controversial opinion, but when people rave about the Evil Dead series, they often refer more to the two sequels, which were far more overtly fun and funny than the original, which was a genre defining piece, and hugely influential, but in hindsight doesn’t play quite as well itself.
Ah. Spring is finally here. After a long winter not dissimilar to 30 Days of Night, the UK is… erm, blanketed in more snow, being pummelled by Arctic winds and bored by the traditional British weather chat. It’s timely then, that we have a quartet of home-grown horrors to prove that there are some things our country is actually good at; namely, violence, misery and a dash of allegory for good measure.
