From the mind of the smash-hits, Longlegs’ and ‘The Monkey’, comes Osgood Perkins' latest horror, ‘Keeper’; a film that both terrifies and baffles on its dark descent into otherness.

The kids are back this week - with a twist. Matty, played by Miles Ekhardt, who was traumatised and supposedly killed by Pennywise in Episode One, returns.

We drop straight back in with the kids, who show the cops their photos - only to discover Pennywise, the massive joker, has wiped himself clean off them.

The town of Derry returns this week with another episode guaranteed to give horror fans the willies.

Coming from the 'land down under' is Pelverata, a brand new and indie-made elevated thriller that explores the dark past lurking beneath the Tasmanian wilds

From the macabre beauty of this woefully melodramatic tale to the meticulously crafted gothicness that is continually present, Frankenstein is a hyperbolised, theatrical experience in every sense of the word.

Thrown straight back into the chaos of last week’s episode, we’re immediately shown another harrowing view of the massacre before moving into the following week.

Who took Riley Brennan? That’s the question on everyone’s mind since the trailer dropped, a promise of answers wrapped in a thrilling scare-fest of tension and fear. “You’d be so proud of her,” said the promotional tagline, yet I left the theatre feeling less proud and more confused by what had unfolded on screen.

As Halloween creeps closer and the nights grow darker, it’s time to revisit the films that make even the most seasoned horror fans squirm in their seats

We open with most of our characters in jail, paying the price for their sins. Wendy (Sydney Chandler) is now fully in her God Complex era - potentially nodding to the Elouise storyline from the Alien comics (1997) and still refusing to make peace with Hermit (Alex Lawther). Meanwhile, Morrow (Babou Ceesay) lies beaten and restrained with a device blocking his cybernetic enhancements. Somewhere, Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves) is filing a formal complaint.
