Four Eastern European women are kidnapped and held captive in a Dalek spaceship; meanwhile, a serial killer stalks the woods below…

AFRAID OF THE DARK (Mark Peploe 1991) - Oscar-winning screenwriter of THE LAST EMPEROR helms occasionally sleazy shocker about a murderer at large in a community for the blind; but things are not quite what they seem...

ALCHEMY (Colton Sears 2005) - "Latent telekinetic powers affect three sisters in a lonely hamlet. Will they use their talents for good or evil?". Cornish-set horror film, shot on mini-DV and running for 50 minutes. From the director of BURIAL.

ALIEN (Ridley Scott 1979) - Sigourney Weaver and the crew of the 'Nostromo' encounter something nasty in outer space.

ALIEN³ (David Fincher 1992) - cast of British stalwarts and some very British dialogue boost this underrated entry in the hit sf/monster series.

ALIENS (James Cameron 1986) - Sigourney Weaver's Ripley battles more space-beasts in the gung-ho first sequel. U.S./U.K. co-production.

ALONE (Philip Claydon 2001)  - Stalker/serial killer is pursued by police inspector. Miriam Margolyes and John Shrapnel star in horror film penned by Paul Hart-Wilden. Soundtrack by Rick Wakeman, who also cameos in the movie.

AMERICAN GOTHIC (John Hough 1987) - Michael J.Pollard steals this 1970s-style item in which a deranged family menaces 3 couples stranded on a remote island.

AN AMERICAN HAUNTING (Courtney Solomon 2005) - Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek in supernatural movie based on the true story of the 19th-century Bell Witch of Tennessee. Canadian/Romanian/U.K co-production.

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (John Landis 1981) - marvellous transformation effects and a sense of humour define this splendid dip into things lycanthropic. You won't forget The Slaughtered Lamb, the Nazi/Muppet dream sequence, or Brenda Bristols in a hurry...

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS (Anthony Waller 1997) - delayed and disappointing sequel to the Landis hit, from the director of the promising MUTE WITNESS. A mess, bogged down with too many unimpressive CGI werewolf effects. U.K./France/U.S./Luxembourg co-production.

THE ANATOMIST (Leonard William 1961) - one of several stabs at the Burke and Hare story, this one featuring a top-notch cast including Alastair Sim, Jill Bennett and George Cole.

AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS! (Roy Ward Baker 1973) - strange curses and severed hands abound in this below-par Amicus gothic piece.

ASSAULT (Sidney Hayers 1971) - Frank Finlay hunts a killer/rapist targeting schoolgirls as victims.

ASYLUM (Roy Ward Baker 1972) - good Amicus anthology with a clever 'guess who?' gimmick. 'Frozen Fear' and 'Mannikins Of Horror' are the stand-out stories from the pen of Robert Bloch.

THE ASYLUM (John Stewart 2000)  - horror feature starring Ingrid Pitt, Robin Askwith, Patrick Mower.

ASYLUM NIGHT (Brad Watson 2004) - British horror, screened at Basildon UCI cinema during 2004. Starring Lauren Bigby, James MacLeod, Elliot Hill. (Ref: Southend Evening Echo; Dave Simpson)

AT THE EARTH'S CORE (Kevin Connor 1976) - tacky subterranean monster fun, with Peter Cushing enjoying himself!
