Alex Chandon has showed promise with CRADLE OF FEAR - lousy acting and dubbing aside, there is lots to like about this anthology (what about those quality head-blasting and cheek-stabbing scenes? Now that is good use of CGI for once).

Just don't watch his earlier stuff BAD KARMA, PERVIRELLA and CHAINSAW SCUMFUCK expecting much more than camcorder cheez - but of course he had to start somewhere.

I dont know about you, but iloved Dog Soldiers. Granted, it was filmed in luxemborg, but the cast was english, as was the director, and it was set in scotland.

so not EVERYTHING is shit...

so true , though bristish horror is a million times better than australian horror, o gawd i love my country. but fuck our horrors suck arse big time. except for one move it was called .dead, i forget the name. anywho brit horror might come up with a few gems, every now and again. but hey! once you make doctor who, where else can you go? that show rocked. the shows back on tv now, they're showing it from start to finish. we're up to tom baker in "the robot"
he was the best doctor i think. he mightn't have had those crazy funky arsed karate moves of john pertwee(sp). but he was still better. come to think of it, thats one thing that the brits did better than the yanks. the american version of doctor who sucked dogs balls

i have to agree, Cradle of Fear was a kick ass film, especially cuz it has Eileen Daly in it, she is amazing, same as Razorblade Smile that was a good film (again Eileen Daly rocks) and admittedly, the 60's, 70's and very early 80's UK horror was at it's best, but then it dropped off till the odd few releases in the late 90's and into 2000, Long Time Dead wasnt a bad film, Dog Soldiers was an awsome movie, Shaun of the Dead was funny, but lets be honest, if anyone was asked to star in a UK horror or a US horror, which would u pick, i know i would say goodbye to the Uk.

Recommend the Hammer House of Horror series, which may be available in the states by now.

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.
