yeh, the Hammer House of Horror series was awsome, i had all 13 episodes on vhs a while ago and im gonna get em on dvd soon, the best one was the one where the family give a evil hitchhiker a lift and he ends up killing the family, to me that was the scariest.

These modern gothic tales were made for British TV after the studio stopped making films, and are highly effective chillers with many notable actors (Peter Cushing, Pierce Brosnan, Denholm Elliot etc.) and scary - if unremarkable - stories.

Right from the devastating theme music, the shows have an almost depressing effect as their cold aura seems strangely removed from anything else... and are refreshingly devoid of humour, leaving only the horror of evil doppelgangers, murderous children, ghastly fetishes and baby-eating to mull over long into the night.

I agree

Just saw that one again the other night, The Two Faces of Evil..

Scary stuff, with the snarling doppelgangers of the husband and child and those creepy flashbacks to the fight in the rain after the car crash (whoops, spoilers!).

Unfortunately, this is one division of horror I haven't seen much of. Liked "28 Days Later", though. :)

Surely he should be struck off for that?


Urban Ghost Story (1998/Genevieve Jolliffe) is very good; set in rundown flats in Scotland, the poltergeist-theme is devoid of flashy effects and creates a thick atmosphere of dread and dispair... and the film has the scariest moving-piece-of-furniture-scene in horror history.

28 dys later was a good story, but in my opinion badly directed
