What's in the Box?

     This week- a trio of movies that feature knocks on wood. 

     On Halloween night in 1992 the BBC aired a special that would cast a long shadow over a generation and shake public trust to its core. A live broadcast, hosted by the nation's most trusted presenters, designed to capture solid irrefutable evidence of the supernatural events terrorizing a small family in Northolt. Never again aired on UK television but enjoying a robust life on home media- Ghostwatch.
     Julia Cotton is bored with her life. When she and her husband, Larry, move into his childhood home in an attempt to rebuild their strained relationship. After a minor accident drips blood on the floor, Julia's lover and Larry's brother, Frank, suddenly returns up from places unspeakable. Julia immediately decides to help Frank heal. The first film in a beloved niche horror franchise written and directed by a genre legend- Hellraiser.
     Richard, a psychology student, talks his friends into going to the cabin he grew up in to participate in his thesis study on fear. Once there Richard pulls out his life-size wooden dummy, "Morty", which is to be used as the group's sounding board during the study. Soon breakthroughs begin to happen almost as Morty showing up in inexplicable places. Notable for heavily marketing its early horrorcore soundtrack- The Fear.
     All that and Dave doesn't understand French, Kevin regresses to adolescence, and Craig has a problem with his aging. Join us, won't you?
