PRE-2000

​

​

​

THE FACE AT THE WINDOW (Wilfred Noy 1920) - F. Brooke Warren's play, in which a murder victim is artificially revived just long enough to identify his killer, had already been filmed in Australia by the time this first U.K. version arrived.

THE FACE AT THE WINDOW (Leslie Hiscott 1932) - Raymond Massey in the first sound version of the play.

THE FACE AT THE WINDOW (George King 1939) - the inevitable re-working of Warren's play as a showcase for Tod Slaughter.

FACE OF DARKNESS (Ian F.H.Lloyd 1976) - M.P. resurrects a man buried alive during the Inquisition, in order to bomb a school, thereby whipping up support for the politician's parliamentary law-and-order bill. 56-minute featurette, now much sought-after by genre fans due to its rarity.

THE FACE OF FU MANCHU (Don Sharp 1965) - first, and best, of the five Fu Manchu films produced by Harry Alan Towers and starring Christopher Lee as Sax Rohmer's Asian master criminal fiend.

FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER (Ivan Barnett 1948) - Poe on a shoestring.

FANATIC (Silvio Narrizano 1965) - Tallulah Bankhead's turn at a 'dotty old lady' shocker, for Hammer. GEORGY GIRL was Narrizano's next.

​

FANTOM KILER (Roman Nowicki 1998)  - first of a series of sex/slasher films, supposedly made in Poland by director ‘Nowicki’. Strong rumours abound that the films were actually directed by film festival organiser/mail order merchant Trevor Barley here in the U.K.! Why anyone would feel the need to pretend their cheap psycho-horror productions were Polish, I can’t imagine!

THE FATAL NIGHT (Mario Zampi 1948) - American spends a night in haunted house. Early second feature from Italian director Zampi, who made his reputation as a director of frantic British comedies. Screened to much acclaim at the BFI in April 2019  - packs so much into its brief running time, toying with gothic imagery but also looking ahead to the psychological shockers of the 60s and 70s, and playing cleverly with stories within stories, revealing itself as a major work in the British horror catalogue.

FAUST (1918) - 46-minute silent version of the oft-filmed soul-bartering yarn.

FAUST FANTASY (Albert Hopkins 1935) - with Webster Booth, Ann Ziegler, and Dennis Hoey as Mephistopheles. BFI listings for 1929-1937 record this title simply as FAUST (ref: M.J. Simpson).

FEAR IN THE NIGHT (Jimmy Sangster 1972) - that LES DIABOLIQUES plot again; so many variants had appeared by now that this one reverts the setting back to an out-of-term schoolhouse.

THE FIEND (Robert Hartford-Davis 1971) - religious fanatics and a psychotic Tony Beckley in a grim urban terror tale.

FIEND WITHOUT A FACE (Arthur Crabtree 1958) - snappy sf story as invisible beings besiege an air base. The final reel, where the squishy brain-creatures materialise and attack, is unforgettable.

THE FINAL CONFLICT (Graham Baker 1981) - British-lensed sequel to THE OMEN and DAMIEN - OMEN II.

 

THE FINAL TEMPTATION (Paco Lara 1991)  - Paul McGann and Sophie Ward in film version of Matthew Lewis’ ‘The Monk’, an Anglo/Spanish co-production.

FIRE MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE (Cy Roth 1956) - astronauts discover the 13th moon of Jupiter to be inhabited by 16 beautiful girls and a monster. If only this country had drive-in cinemas...

 

FIRESTAR: FIRST CONTACT (David Kent-Watson 1991) - “On a routine flight a spaceship is attacked by other powers” – Oliver Tobias Fan Pages website. Tobias (as ‘Capt. Bremner’) and Charles Gray starred in this science-fiction cheapie made in Manchester. “For anyone with any familiarity with Manchester this is a gory sf must-see” – Paul Higson.

FIRST MAN INTO SPACE (Robert Day 1959) - a la 'Quatermass', the title astronaut returns as a hideous monster.

THE FLESH AND BLOOD SHOW (Pete Walker 1972) - Walker was still honing his unique style when this 'teens trapped in a theatre' thriller was filmed. Script by Alfred Shaughnessy.

THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS (John Gilling 1960) - another version of the Burke and Hare story, produced by Robert Baker and Monty Berman.

FRAGMENT OF FEAR (Deran Sarafian 1970)  - Following the murder of his elderly aunt, man finds himself entering a world of paranoia populated by secret societies, untrustworthy coppers, heroin, and government agencies – or does he? Fascinating puzzle-with-no-answer, a real cult movie in waiting. Starring David Hemmings.

FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (Terence Fisher 1973) - Fisher's swansong, and a poignant climax to his epic five-movie Frankenstein saga for Hammer.

FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN (Terence Fisher 1966) - Cushing's Baron delves into the mysteries of the soul. A favourite of ace filmmaker and renowned Hammer buff Martin Scorsese.

FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED (Terence Fisher 1968) - blistering opening sequence and a haunting performance by Freddie Jones distinguish this superb entry in Fisher's Frankenstein quintet.

FRANKENSTEIN: THE REAL STORY (David Wickes 1992) - Randy Quaid as the monster in a disappointing t.v. version.

FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY (Jack Smight 1974) - lavish, expensive adaptation shot in Britain for U.S. television.

​

FRENZY (Alfred Hitchcock 1972) - Hitch's first British film since 1950, so of course the sly old dog rubbed everyone up the wrong way with a gentle, homespun story about a murderous rapist. "Lovely, lovely!"

FRIGHT (Peter Collinson 1971) - psychotic Ian Bannen terrorises babysitter Susan George.

THE FRIGHTENED LADY (T.Hayes Hunter 1932) - early version of the Edgar Wallace story later remade by George King. Hunter did THE GHOUL a year later.

FRIGHTMARE (Pete Walker 1974) - as gory as it gets; one of the most brutal, intense, and shocking films these shores have ever produced, scripted by David McGillivray. Sheila Keith is simply brilliant as the cannibal matriarch, and the unsettling power-drill antics of the finale are impossible to erase from memory.

​

FRIGHTMARES (Shani Grewal, Clive Paton, Alain Berberian 1985)  - makeshift anthology comprising three separately-produced horror shorts, two of which were directed by Brits Grewal and Paton. The whole thing is hosted by John Hurt, and among the familiar faces, Edward Hardwicke pops up in one story. 

​

FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE (Kevin Connor 1974)  - another Amicus anthology, with a lovely performance from Peter Cushing as the junk-shop proprietor linking the whole thing together.

​

FROM THE OLD EARTH (Wil Aaron 1981) - hour-long Welsh-language folk horror from the director of GWAED AR Y SER. Unearthing of an ancient stone head, causing nightmares and death as the legend of a half-man, half-animal Celtic creature emerges from the ancient past.

​

THE FROZEN DEAD (Herbert J. Leder 1966)  - Nazis on ice.

 

FULL CIRCLE (Richard Loncraine 1976)  - Mia Farrow in adaptation of the Peter Straub best-seller.

FUNNY MAN (Simon Sprackling 1994)  - broad horror comedy with Tim James enjoying himself as the wise-cracking killer jester of the title. Velma from 'Scooby-Doo' is a central character; ex-lead singer with ska band The Selecter, Pauline Black, has an important role; and Ron Wood's decision to join the Rolling Stones in 1975 is a major plot point!

​

​

​

POST-2000

​

F (Johannes Roberts 2010)  - teacher and school staff are targeted for attacks and murder by a bunch of hoodies 

​

THE FACILITY (Ian Clark 2012) - "In a remote medical facility, seven strangers participate in a medical trial for a new drug.

​

FALLEN SOLDIERS (Bill Thomas 2015)  - set in 1815; a British soldier hijacks a coach and tries to tell the passengers of plagues, conspiracies, and the dead returning from their graves. Period zombie film which at least attempts something a little different.

​

A FANTASTIC FEAR OF EVERYTHING (Chris Hopewell and Crispian Mills 2012)  - Simon Pegg plays a children's author now researching Victorian serial killers for a new project. He becomes obsessed with the subject and develops paranoia, thinking that people are watching him with intent to kill. A finger-chopping psycho named the Hanoi Handshake Killer happens to be at large; and Pegg, having accidentally glued a carving knife to his hand, sets out for the launderette.

Finding an injured man in the snowy wastes, they bring him back to their yurt and the story develops in the way these two women-one man dramas often do - but with horrific consequences here. TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE fans won't leave disappointed... Michelle Yeoh, Michelle Krusiec and Sean Bean make up the main cast.

​

​

5G ZOMBIES (Dustin Ferguson, John R. Walker 2020) - the creation of the 5G communications service is revealed as a government conspiracy to turn people into zombies. Primarily a US production, this patchwork of footage prominently utilises John Walker's short film THE CORIOLIS EFFECT (written by Steve Hardy and Pass The Marmalade's very own Darrell Buxton), originally written and shot for a proposed UK anthology which was to have been called 'EMOJIS OF HORROR' (hence the use of the blue spiral emoji throughout). Somehow, Darrell and Steve appear to have ended up being credited as having written the entire film!

​

FROM DUSK TIL PORN (Hazza B'gunne 2004)  - dreadful XXX-rated vampire sex movie which makes the CATHULA films look like Hammer classics. Character name 'Gladys the Impaler' just about sums this up. Title aside, it's not even an attempt at a riff on the Rodriguez/Tarantino flick from the mid 90s. Re-released in 2013 in an hour-long softcore cutdown.

​

FROZEN (Juliet McKoen 2005) - drama with both supernatural and psychological elements, starring Shirley Henderson as woman searching for her missing, possibly dead, sister, whom she believes may be trying to contact her from beyond.

​

A very entertaining and occasionally rather deep hour or so, raising questions about 21st century culture and the state of independent filmmaking.

PRE-2000

​

THE GAMMA PEOPLE (John Gilling 1956) - it shouldn't work, but somehow this amalgam of silly-ass comedy, European oompah, and paranoid science fiction really comes off.

THE GHOST OF RASHMON HALL (Denis Kavanagh 1947) - o.k. ghost story with a twist ending, produced by Harold Baim and starring Valentine Dyall.

THE GHOST OF ST.MICHAEL'S (Marcel Varnel 1940) - comic farce with the great Will Hay.

THE GHOST SHIP (Vernon Sewell 1952)

GHOST STORIES FROM THE PICKWICK PAPERS (Al Guest, Jean Mathieson 1987) - animated trilogy of tales based on the writings of Charles Dickens. Stories: 'The Ghost In The Wardrobe', 'The Mail Coach Ghosts', 'The Goblin And The Gravedigger'.

GHOST STORY (Stephen Weeks 1974) - group of young men are invited to test for the presence of ghosts at a possibly haunted country house. Patchily effective chiller, though it does feature one of the creepiest dolls in movie history...

THE GHOST TRAIN (Geza von Bolvary 1927) - first, silent version of Arnold Ridley's celebrated play.

THE GHOST TRAIN (Walter Forde 1931) - sound remake.

THE GHOST TRAIN (Lajos Lazar 1933) - Anglo-Hungarian version of Walter Forde's 1931 film; footage from the U.K. original combined with new dialogue scenes for Hungarian audiences!

THE GHOUL (Freddie Francis 1974) - with Hammer sinking fast, Kevin Francis' Tyburn Films briefly stepped in to keep English gothic cinema alive with a handful of productions - this one, centred around Indian mysticism and with Don Henderson as an attic-dwelling cannibal, is probably the best.

THE GIANT BEHEMOTH (Eugene Lourie 1959) - the U.K.'s answer to Godzilla?

GILBERT HARDING SPEAKING OF MURDER (Paul Dickson 1953) - example of the 3-part anthology, a format much in vogue at the time.

GODS AND MONSTERS (Bill Condon 1998) - biopic of that greatest of genre directors, Universal's James Whale, portrayed here by Oscar-nominated Sir Ian McKellen. A la Tim Burton's ED WOOD, Whale's life is intertwined with re-created scenes from his films, notably BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.

THE GODSEND (Gabrielle Beaumont 1980) - post OMEN demonic child/cuckoo-in-the-nest chiller.

THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (Gordon Hessler 1974) - more myths and legends, Harryhausen style.

GOODNIGHT, GOD BLESS (John Eyres 1987) - psychotic priest anticipates the Dunblane massacre by blasting away at a school playground full of kids. One little girl is able to identify him; the killer, now armed with a knife, pursues her and her mother. Little-known, apparently awful, attempt to emulate Pete Walker's brand of shocks. A film entitled LUCIFER, with same director and cast, was released in 1989 - is it this movie re-titled?

GORGO (Eugene Lourie 1961) - more monster fun from the director of THE GIANT BEHEMOTH.

THE GORGON (Terence Fisher 1964) - middling bid by Hammer to transplant the mythical Medusa into their own universe.

GOTHIC (Ken Russell 1986) - scripted by Stephen Volk, this was one of several late-80s studies of events at the Villa Diodati involving Byron and the Shelleys. Typical Russell!

THE GREED OF WILLIAM HART (Oswald Mitchell 1948) - it had to happen; Tod Slaughter's foray into Burke and Hare/bodysnatching territory.

GRIM (Paul Matthews 1996) - Matthews shot this cavern-dwelling monster movie with an eye on the U.S. video market. BREEDERS was the 1997 follow-up.

THE GRIP OF IRON (Bert Haldane 1920) - previously filmed as a 1913 short. Mad strangler is revealed to be a clerk, murdering and robbing to provide for his extravagant daughter.

GHOST STORIES (Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson 2017)  - based on the successful stage hit; man who specialises in debunking psychics interview three individuals about their strange supernatural experiences. Many touted this as a revival of the Amicus anthology style, but the stories are very sketchy and lightweight, and the linking material, which here unusually forms the bulk of the script, isn't as clever as the makers would like you to think. 

​

GHOSTS OF DARKNESS (David Ryan Keith 2017)  - two paranormal investigators put aside personal differences and join forces, locked in a house with a dark past for three nights. Supernatural spooker shot in Scotland.

​

THE GHOUL (Gareth Tunley 2015)  - is there destined to be a British film entitled THE GHOUL every 41 years?!

​

THE HANDS OF ORLAC (Edmond T.Greville 1961) 

HANDS OF THE RIPPER (Peter Sasdy 1971) - Eric Porter and Angharad Rees star in this unusual take on the Ripper murders, with a rather contrived 'trigger' for the killings but containing some memorable scenes and a notable climax set in the Whispering Gallery at St.Paul's Cathedral.
 

HARD EDGE (Caleb Lindsay 1995)  - a pair of office employees take a weekend break on a survival games course, only to find themselves involved in a deadly paintball session, being pursued by psychos armed with real guns. Obscure British thriller, screened by Bravo on a few occasions; possibly inspired by Nick Castle’s equally obscure U.S. shocker T.A.G. – THE ASSASSINATION GAME? Starring Luke Shaw and Simon Bateso.

 

HARDWARE (Richard Stanley 1990) - futuristic shocker, young woman menaced by killer robot. Oozes with smugness - Stanley clearly thinks he's made a great film here. He hasn't, though his next, DUST DEVIL, was a big improvement.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE OF HORROR (Michael Armstrong 1969)

THE HEADLESS GHOST (Peter Graham Scott 1959) - quickie comic shocker, rattled off at short notice when AIP found they needed a movie to support HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM on double bills!

 

HEART (Charles McDougall 1997)  - top t.v. scripter Jimmy McGovern turns his hand to Britsploitation, with disappointing results, with this tale of heart transplants and gruesome revenge. The use of music (countless pop hits with the word ‘heart’ in the title) is crushingly obvious and the star cast all seem rather embarrassed to find themselves in something of a 1970s throwback. 

HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II (Tony Randel 1988)

HELLRAISER (Clive Barker 1987) - the young, raw, enthusiastic Barker, whose 'Books Of Blood' had shaken up the horror literary establishment, managed the same trick with his debut movie, a graphic, gory piece which introduced the Cenobites, led by Doug Bradley's 'Pinhead', as modern horror icons. Sadly, the series has gradually drifted away from its British roots - likewise the author.

HIGH SPIRITS (Neil Jordan 1988)  - poor comedy set in a ghost-ridden Irish castle/hotel. Even a grand performance from Peter O’Toole can’t save it.

THE HILLS HAVE EYES, PART II (Wes Craven 1985) - U.S./British co-produced sequel to Craven's classic desert cannibal outing.

​

HOLIDAYS WITH PAY (John E. Blakeley 1948)  - comedy starring Frank Randle and Tessie O’Shea. Ref: M.J. Simpson – “concerns a family who are thrown out of their Blackpool guesthouse so join the daughter's boyfriend in the haunted mansion where he has to stay for one night in order to claim his inheritance. . .they encounter a ghost, a skeleton and an Egyptian mummy!”

 

HOLOCAUST 2000 (Alberto de Martino 1978) - Anglo-Italian sub-OMEN rubbish; Kirk Douglas mixed up with the AntiChrist and ancient apocalyptic prophecies.

HORROR EXPRESS (Eugenio Martin 1972) - Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee re-team on board a train, with Telly Savalas and a hideous monster along for the ride. Grand Spanish/U.K. production, a great fan favourite.

HORROR HOSPITAL (Antony Balch 1973) - Robin Askwith recuperates at the title establishment, run by mad doctor Michael Gough. Strange experiments, dwarves, decapitations and more!

THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN (Jimmy Sangster 1970) - Carry On Stitching...

THE HORROR OF IT ALL (Terence Fisher 1964) - rarely-seen 'monster family' comedy from the great Fisher, presumably intended as Britain's response to 'Addams Family' and 'Munsters' fever.

HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM (Arthur Crabtree 1959)

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (Maurice Elvey 1921) - first U.K. feature version of Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes' classic.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (Richard Oswald 1929)  - German/U.K. co-production of the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ classic, with Carlyle Blackwell as Holmes.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (V.Gareth Gundry 1931)

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (Terence Fisher 1959) - Holmes, Hammer style, with Peter Cushing as the great man.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (Paul Morrissey 1977) - Morrissey was fresh from his two Warhol horrors, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore had recorded their initial outpourings as 'Derek And Clive', when they collided on this very funny spoof, apparently intended by the director as a tribute to the 'Carry On' series!

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (Douglas Hickox 1983)

THE HOUSE IN MARSH ROAD (Montgomery Tully 1960) - brisk programmer in which a poltergeist foils a murder scheme.

THE HOUSE IN NIGHTMARE PARK (Peter Sykes 1973) - Frankie Howerd meets Ray Milland in a breezy CAT AND THE CANARY-style comic romp.

THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS (Maxwell Munden 1957) - ghost of a murdered woman returns. With Michael Gough.

HOUSE OF DARKNESS (Oswald Mitchell 1948) - murder victim's ghost seeks vengeance on his killer - his step-brother. Scripted by John Gilling.

HOUSE OF MORTAL SIN (Pete Walker 1976) - Walker takes on Catholicism in this controversial 'killer priest' offering. Starring Anthony Sharp and the inimitable Sheila Keith.

HOUSE OF MYSTERY (Walter Summers 1939) - based on A.E.W.Mason's 'At The Villa Rose', already filmed on a handful of occasions. Hooded killer strikes at a séance.

HOUSE OF MYSTERY (Vernon Sewell 1961) - Terrific. 1961 was Sewell's peak year (he also made the great MAN IN THE BACK SEAT and STRONGROOM at this time) and this gripping story of a vengeful husband totally electrifying his house is a genuine original, a real winner, complete with a stunning surprise ending ensnaring an innocent young couple in all the madness. 'Hammer House Of Horror' episode 'The Silent Scream' bears this movie a considerable debt.

HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS (Pete Walker 1983) - Walker's revamp of 'Seven Keys To Baldpate' as a showcase for horror greats Lee, Cushing, Carradine and Price, with Sheila Keith also on board. Fun.

HOUSE OF WHIPCORD (Pete Walker 1974) - gruelling, uncomfortable Walker/McGillivray sleaze; innocent young women are kidnapped and forced into a private prison where they are flogged and hanged. Scathing McGillivray script, and another superb, sadistic performance from Sheila Keith.

THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (Peter Duffell 1970) - entertaining Amicus four-parter, with Denholm Elliott in 'Method For Murder' and Jon Pertwee hamming it up in 'The Cloak'.
 

HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING (1989) - Richard E.Grant as stressed advertising executive who notices a boil on his neck is growing into a second head. Satirical comedy directed by Bruce Robinson, indebted somewhat to old 60s shocker THE MANSTER!

​

HOWLING II: STIRBA - WEREWOLF BITCH (Philippe Mora 1984)  - Christopher Lee and Sybil Danning star in sequel to Joe Dante’s THE HOWLING. U.S./European co-production with U.K. companies Hemdale and Thorn EMI involved.

HOWLING IV: THE ORIGINAL NIGHTMARE (John Hough 1987) - the HOWLING film series had the rare distinction of having each of its early instalments filmed on a different continent! This British-produced entry in the werewolf saga was filmed by the experienced Hough in South Africa.

HOWLING V: THE REBIRTH (Neal Sundstrom 1989) - Mary Stavin and Philip Davis in a werewolf variant on 'Ten Little Indians', a U.S./U.K. co-production filmed in Hungary. 'Sundstrom' is a pseudonym for director Michael Fischa.

HOWLING VII: MYSTERY WOMAN (Clive Turner/Roger Nall 1994) - lycanthropy meets country-and-western in this below-average entry in the long-running werewolf series. U.S./U.K. co-production.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (Michael Tuchner 1982) - all-star British cast in this t.v. movie shot at Pinewood. Anthony Hopkins stars as Quasimodo.

HYSTERIA (Freddie Francis 1964)

​

​

HAPPY DAY (Toby Davis 2004) - "arty horror film about a car crash and the victim's nightmarish 'recovery' " - Paul Higson. Shot on digital video with a budget of £15000.

​

HARMONY'S REQUIEM (Mark McDermott 2011)  - unclassifiable, indescribable, quietly disturbing item about a non-speaking budding keyboard player (we see him performing some discordant electronic music and violently smashing up a grand piano) who takes to filming strangers and uploading footage of them to a YouTube-like internet channel. Obscure and very different type of horror film; MJ Simpson reviewed this on his website and compared it to THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in terms of the way we are made to identify with the odd central character, and to THE LAST HORROR MOVIE in how it uses found footage/video camera ideas in a creepy but audience-engaging manner. Aka SILENT TERROR

​

HAROLD'S GOING STIFF (Keith Wright 2011)  - lovely little Sheffield-set comedy, a nice spin on 'zombie outbreak' cliches - handled in a far more low-key and character-driven way, as an elderly man contracting 'O.R.D.' (onset of rigor disease) begins to befriend his young carer; meanwhile, local vigilantes are looking to bludgeon every new zombie they can find. Great performances, more suited to a drama about dementia or a degenerative illness than a horror movie.

​

HARPOON: REYKJAVIK WHALE WATCHING MASSACRE (​Julius Kemp 2009)  - Icelandic comic shocker starring Gunnar Hansen; whale-watching tourists encounter murderous 'Fishbillies' (a sort of seafaring equivalent of the traditional 'woodland killers', I guess) as the waves turn red. Some sources say this is an Icelandic-only production but it also has Finnish and British involvement.

​

THE HARSH LIGHT OF DAY (Oliver S. Milburn 2012)  - author is attacked and his wife killed in a remote cottage; he makes a pact with Satan in order to take revenge.

After a night telling scary stories around the campfire, the teens are attacked."

​

HARVEST OF THE DEAD: HALLOWEEN NIGHT (Peter Goddard & Terence Elliott 2021) - "It's the day after the events of the first film and Sally Burns and her friends are preparing for a Halloween party. As the evening of fun kicks off, unbeknownst to them, The Plague Doctor and The Creature are preparing to join them."

​

​

HATE LITTLE RABBIT (Bazz Hancher 2022) - "After the death of her adopted parents Lacy Graham tries to build a relationship with her natural mother Samantha, this is made difficult by Samantha’s struggle with mental health.

Who can Lacy trust, a strange ex copper, her weird friends or has a distant relative set his sights on revenge for her father’s actions? Time is running out if she wants to save the only family she has left.

Every act of violence brings us closer to death"

​

HAUNTED (Steven M. Smith, Zane Casablanca, Svenja Quazzani, Zane Quazzani 2013)  - more found footage, more BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and 'Most Haunted'-inspired fare as contestants win a chance to appear on a live reality TV broadcast hosted by a medium, and encounter supernatural goings-on. Also released under the equally dull title GHOSTS.

​

A HAUNTING AT THE RECTORY (Andrew Jones 2015)  - a reverend and his wife move to Borley Rectory, and the wife has an affair with a handyman. A few supernatural bits are tacked on but this is more 'infidelity drama' than 'ghost story'. And little to do with the history of the real Borley Rectory.

​

A HAUNTING IMAGE (2010)  - 43-minute no-budget item screened at the 2010 Salford Film Festival. Paul Higson saw it there and reported that it "manages to be a modern Manchester ghost story in the M.R. James tradition", adding "don't go in with high expectations"

​

THE HAUNTING OF BORLEY RECTORY (Steven M. Smith 2019)  - despite the title, this one has little to do with the actual Borley Rectory or the alleged events and hauntings documented there over the years. Standard dull low-budget spooker. Stick with Ashley Thorpe's superior BORLEY RECTORY for the real deal.

​

THE HAUNTING OF RADCLIFFE HOUSE (Nick Willing 2014)  - aka ALTAR. Standard 'family move to restore a large isolated country house, and encounter the supernatural' fare. Received its first UK screening on television, broadcast by Channel 5 over the Christmas period in 2014.

​

HEARTLESS (Philip Ridley 2009)  - alienated young man with heart-shaped birthmark on his face becomes involved with a murderous gang of hooded lizard-creatures. An unusual spin on 'hoodie horror' from the director of THE PASSION OF DARKLY NOON.

​

HELLBILLY 58 (Russ Diaper 2009)  - "A Murdered Hillbilly returns from the dead to seek revenge on the town that put him to death in 1958. The small Town of Dackson is about to learn that the legend of 'Hellbilly', is true". Feature shot on the South Coast of England. Director is aka Rusty Apper. With appearances by Debbie Rochon and Lloyd Kaufman.

​

HELLBOY (Neil Marshall 2019)  - action-packed rebooted cinematic version of the celebrated horned comic book monster hero's escapades; featuring all manner of folk horror icons (the Pendle witches, King Arthur, fairies, trolls, Baba Yaga etc) but handled in wonderfully crass fashion, with weird monsters destroying most of London along the way. Many hated this, but it's a treat.

​

HELLBREEDER (Johannes Roberts and James Eaves 2001)  - woman seeks her son’s killer, “only reality isn’t what it used to be and Alice is running out of time before her mind cracks up”  - Gatlin Pictures website. Dominique Pinon stars in film from the directors of SANITARIUM.

​

HELLBRIDE (Pat Higgins 2006) - "the most terrifying romantic comedy of the year"! Filmed back-to-back with KILLERKILLER, from the director of TRASHHOUSE.

​

HELLRISER (Steve Lawson 2017)  - sequel to NOCTURNAL ACTIVITY/THE HAUNTING OF ANNIE DYER. Detectives investigating a series of occult murders discover a Nazi-style mad scientist experimenting on inmates at an asylum that was believed to be abandoned.

​

THE HIKE (Rupert Bryan 2011) - more killer-in-the-woods fare as an ex-army Afghanistan veteran and her friends go into the wilds for a camping trip.

​

HIS HOUSE (Remi Weekes 2020)  - refugees from South Sudan attempt a fresh start in England, but are haunted by a strange presence within the walls of their new home.

​

THE HOARDER (Matt Winn 2015)  - "Ella is forced to work with a group of disturbed strangers after getting trapped in an underground storage facility where she finds herself hunted by an unhinged killer". Starring Mischa Barton.

​

THE HOLDING (Susan Jacobson 2011)  - gripping horror-thriller set on a Peak District farm where a woman has killed and buried her abusive husband. Months later, a gruff but charismatic friend of the husband turns up seeking work, and events and revelations begin to take ever-darker turns.

​

THE HOLE (Nick Hamm 2001)  - 4 young people go missing, and it seems they have been trapped in a hidden World War II bunker - but what exactly happened down there? Psychological horror drama based on Guy Burt's novel 'After The Hole'. 

​

THE HOLE IN THE GROUND (Lee Cronin 2019)  - UK/Irish/French/Belgian co-production, a fairly routine retread of 'changeling' myths and legends with a mother coming to suspect that her son might be an evil Doppelgänger

​

HOLLOW (Michael Axelgaard 2011)  - found footage horror centred around myths of a dark spirit haunting an old monastery and driving people to suicide. Aka DUNWICH.

​

HOLLOWER (MJ Dixon 2016)  - a more low-key offering than usual from Mycho Entertainment. Nicholas Vince stars in story of an agoraphobic man whose mother has been murdered, and who finds himself menaced by a shadowy demon.

​

HOME MADE (Jason Impey 2008)  - 88-minute amateur feature - filmmaker goes on an unstoppable killing rampage with the aim of making a snuff movie.

​

HOME MADE 2: THE FOOTAGE (Jason Impey 2009)  - 64-minute sequel. "This time the footage from the notorious Jack Hess has been discovered, and for the first time ever uncut you are about to see the infamous snuff films he created to make the ultimate sicko movie!"

​

HOSTICIDE (Geoff Harmer 2021) - Paul Kelly is superb as a white-collar salesman who murders prostitutes on the side and compiles a video diary detailing his frustrations. Excellent, often sleazy serial killer fare - originally seen some years earlier in a black-and-white grded incarnation named ADDICT, Harmer decided to re-release it in colour in 2022 and it played at that year's Horror-on-Sea festival in Southend.

​

HOT FUZZ (Edgar Wright 2007) - ostensibly a spoof of big-budget Hollywood buddy-cop films relocated to a sleepy English village, Wright and Simon Pegg's follow-up to SHAUN OF THE DEAD is however filled with horror film-style murders and a WICKER MAN-like plot. Dark cowled figure kills off villagers in various gory ways; local community is revealed as being a secret sect devoted to preserving their way of life; Pegg and Timothy Dalton even get involved in a GODZILLA-style fight scene taking place amid miniature model buildings!

​

HOTEL (Mike Figgis 2001)  - an all-star cast participates in this experimental movie from the prolific Figgis. A film crew is shooting a Dogme-style version of Webster's 'The Duchess Of Malfi'; everyone stays in a hotel where, among other strange goings-on, the restaurant and kitchens are staffed by cannibals - John Malkovich being killed and eaten in the opening reel! With a similar style to Figgis' multi-screen TIMECODE, this comedy/horror/drama set in Venice also features other dark events including a brief homage to DON'T LOOK NOW.

​

HOUSE OF AFFLICTIONS (Anthony M. Winson 2017)  - crime author whose young daughter went missing years earlier moves to a new home to attempt work on a comeback novel - but begins to experience paranormal events at the property.

​

THE HOUSE OF HIM (Robert Florence 2014)  - "A masked killer prepares to slay his 27th victim, but the dead women in his walls and floors may be able to finally put a stop to his violence". Shot in the director's mother's house, for a reported budget of just £900, but was the recipient of some good reviews. "Probably the best horror film you will see all year"  - MJ Simpson.

​

HOUSE OF 9 (Steven R. Monroe 2006) - Nine strangers are drugged, abducted, and sealed in a house. "Only one will get out…alive". Dennis Hopper and Kelly Brook star in this U.K./Romanian/German/French production, surely influenced by the success of SAW and SAW II.

​

THE HOUSE ON THE WITCHPIT (Pat Higgins 2016)  - journalist investigates why people involved with a certain movie end up dead. Director of HELLBRIDE and KILLERKILLER Higgins designed HOUSE ON THE WITCHPIT as an experimental feature, to be screened once at the Southend Horror-on-Sea film festival (also featuring a live performance aspect involving actors in the audience) before he destroyed the only copy of the film at the end; it was announced that re-edited versions of the movie would be shown at other events, with a slightly different cut each time. 

​

HOUSE RED (Coz Greenop 2019)  - horror starring Natasha Henstridge. "When a couple travel to a remote vineyard in the south of Italy to spend the summer grape picking they soon discover that there is more to the terroir than meets the eye"

​

HOWL (Paul Hyett 2015)  - werewolves on a train. From the director of THE SEASONING HOUSE 

 

THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 (FULL SEQUENCE) (Tom Six 2011)  - Dutch sensation THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE proved to be one of the most shocking and original horror films in years, and outrageous director Tom Six followed up with this British-shot sequel, in black-and-white, with Laurence R. Harvey as a mother-dominated parking lot employee who is obsessed with the first movie and - despite possessing no medical skill whatsoever - decides to create his own human centipede in a disused warehouse via the rudimentary method of stapling/duct-taping together twelve kidnapped victims (including the first film's Ashlynn Yennie, here playing herself). A wild gross-out which fell foul of the British censor.

​

HUSH (Mark Tonderai 2008)  - exciting British road movie with a desperate driver seeking his missing wife and trying to convince the authorities that a trucker may be kidnapping women - with murders occurring along the way at service stations to heighten the suspense and horror.

​

THE HYBRID (Billy O'Brien 2014)  - aka SCINTILLA, this SF/horror outing spawned an LP called 'Hybrid' by the Biff Byford-fronted band The Scintilla Project. The movie itself concerns the creation of alien/human hybrids in an Eastern European facility, and the band of mercenaries who infiltrate the complex .
