A great horror
This is probably one of my all time favourite horror films. I find most horrors a little tame and predictable, but this truly scared me. Especially originally watching it at the cinema! As with Dog Soldiers, Neil Marshall does a great job with a mostly British cast, creating a tense and terrifying film. And I loved the ending.

Minor entry in the annals of British botanical horror proves that Orson Welles wasn't the only one whose career took a nosedive after Citizen Kane. George Coulouris does the best he can as a scientist so mad he thinks you should keep trees in a basement, but you can see the melancholy in his eyes throughout.

Essentially an attempt to transplant, or in this case re-pot, the US Z-movie horror formula to a British context, but this just makes the results weirder rather than appreciably better. Fabulous insights into assumptions about gender politics and other cultures, obviously. The killer tree itself will linger in your memory, though not in the way the film-makers would have hoped.

House of Salem is directed by James Crow and is a British occult horror that takes the viewer on a journey to a house that has a terrifying history. When kidnappers snatch Josh (played by newcomer Liam Kelly) from his home in the dead of night, they head to a safe house to await the delivery of their ransom money.

House of Salem isn’t the best horror you’ll see, but it’s certainly not the worst.

Quite gory
Good locations
Just when you thought it was safe to get the night tube!
A very good British horror. A late night journey on the Underground goes from bad to worse for one commuter as they are chased through the tunnels in a fight for survival.
