Next up for Friday its home-grown recession thriller versus Swedish beyond-the-grave slasher. Take your pick?
The Glass Man - Mainscreen 7.05pm
What would you do to save your family from debt? What would you go through to prevent your loved ones from knowing you lost everything? Well thats what fan favourite Andy Nyman must decide when faced with ominous debt collector James Cosmo. Yes you heard that right, Andy Nyman. When you pull off arguably the scariest way to spend a night in London at (no, not a Camden clothes store) the Duke of York Theatre for 'Ghost Stories', you know the horror fans are going to eat up anything your in, produced or vaguely breathed on.
Sure the director, for whom Glass Man is a feature length debut, starred in the abhorent 'Mother Of Tears', but for most that should just a be a snow cone on the iceberg that is the awesomeness Glass Man could be. Could be.
Blood Runs Cold - Discovery Screen 7.30pm
So what could possibly contend with the Nyman?
Go watch this trailer; no, now. Go.
Thats what can compete with Nyman. How amazing does it look. Sure the trailer seems suspect in how it gives so much away, the monster looks like a cross between something from 'Watchmen' and a gimp and it flaunts its micro budget like a pre-emptive excuse. But LOOK AT IT. How wonderful is that final shot? How clear does everything look considering it was shot on a camera reserved usually for stills? How nice is it to see something that holds that retro-ish feel while simultaneously looking polished and gleaming? It seems when it comes to horror Scandinavia is the new Japan in the way they seem to be turning out true gems what with 'Let The Right One In', 'Cold Prey' and 'Dead Snow' to name a few. Will Blood Runs Cold follow suit?
So what'll it be? Glass Man or Blood Runs Cold?
