Description: God bless the Queen....or whomever needs to be credited for the long, rich history of genre films produced out of the UK. This week we celebrate British horror. In order to overcome the obvious challenge of attempting to condense the entire history of British horror fare into one discussion, we have each selected specific titles to offer a flavour of what makes this nation's output so interesting. Anthony offers up some classic picks such as Night of the Demon (1957), The Devil Rides Out (1968) and Wicker Man (1973), while Ted shares some recent entries Eden Lake, Donkey Punch and Mum and Dad all from 2008. Although we have devoted an episode previously to a selection of Hammer films, we reserve our comments on Amicus for another installment down the road. In order to try some non-North American content but still in the English language we recommend trying out some of the titles thrown out, and raise an Ale in salute to UK horror. Spoiler Warning: schlock corner features the shocking conclusion to the original Wicker Man (LINK). Haunting and gut-twisting, it was truly one of the most horrific moments of the genre. Things close out with a cameo appearance by Doug to give some impromptu thoughts on Drag Me To Hell, and this weeks installment of the Aussie Film Festival is Road Games (1981).
