Stars: Michael Socha, Andrew Readman, Dean Ackerman, Ricky Tomlinson, James Whitehurst, John Solomonides, Steve Wood, Solaya Rowley, George Newton, Billy Cook, Paul J. Dove, Maggie Evans | Written and Directed by John Williams
Stoke-on-Trent filmmaker John Williams (no relation to the film composer of the same name) made his name, at least in the horror mainstream, with 2017’s Crispy’s Curse, despite having lensed The Mothertown and The Slayers before it. Now comes his latest film, Tales of the Creeping Death, a highly-anticipated low-budget horror anthology that aims to recapture the spirit of the anthologies of old from British studios such as Hammer and Amicus. Hell, the title even screams a homage to Tigon’s last British horror production The Creeping Flesh!
Like many an anthology, Tales of the Creeping Death opens with its wraparound tale, a tale that sees hitman Goose (Michael Socha) arrive at Harold’s house. Not to kill him,...

Stars: Charlie Cox, Billy Cook, Freema Agyeman, Robert Portal, Mackenzie Crook, Eve Myles, Vincent Regan, Tony Curran, Dexter Fletcher, Ruth Jones, Annette Crosbie | Written by Danny King | Directed by Jason Flemyng
The directorial debut of actor Jason Flemyng, this low budget British horror-comedy has a solid cast and a moderately intriguing premise, but it can’t quite decide whether it wants to go for scares or laughs and ends up falling awkwardly between the two.
Written by Danny King (Wild Bill), Eat Locals (originally Eat Local, with an ‘s’ being added in the marketing stage) centres on a coven of centuries-old vampires – including Daredevil’s Charlie Cox, Doctor Who’s Freema Agyeman and One Foot in the Grave‘s Annette Crosbie – convening for their semi-centennial meeting at a remote country farmhouse.
