Deeply chilling but moving classic of British cinema. Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland star as a couple who move to Venice after the death of their daughter Christine, only to encounter premonitions of death amid its dank off-season canals. A blind psychic who claims to "see" Christine, and a killer at large in the city serve to crank up the sense of foreboding but it is Sutherland's sightings of a small girl in a bright red coat that offer the biggest chill, particularly when the true identity of the coat-wearing figure is revealed. more »

British writer-turned-director Clive Barker adapted his short story 'The Hell-Bound Heart' for his screen debut, to protect his visceral tale from incompetent hands. The result is wonderfully appalling. Hellraiser is a dark, adult horror story of glamorous, exquisite cruelty and brooding menace. It's packed with deliciously gruesome effects and, of course, introduced cinema-goers to the villain of all villains, Pinhead. more »

A helicopter chases a lone husky dog across the Arctic snowscape before crashing outside an American research base. With no-one to explain the incident, the Americans, led by Kurt Russell, take the dog in. So begins John Carpenter’s classic lesson in gore, tension and paranoia, The Thing. The research team soon discover that they have been infested by a shape shifting alien, who begins to kill them one by one and assume their identities. Not knowing who is human and who has been infected produces a real sense of claustrophobia. In one terrifying scene, a member of the team suffers a heart attack and is treated by the doctor only to then spring a hideous surprise. more »

Two hapless American guys lost on the Yorkshire moors end up as a werewolf snack. One survives the attack but, of course, the horror's not over for the hapless tourist - before long he's growing hair and coming over all werewolf himself in this funny and inventive take on the monster genre from John Landis. The scene in which man transforms into wolf still has the power to shock, and won the movie's make-up team a well-deserved Oscar. more »
