Premieres Galore At The Horror Channel In February

February is always the month of love thanks to a certain romantic day. Next month The Horror Channel will share their hearts with a host of UK TV premieres genre fans will enjoy. One of those premieres comes from the deliciously warped mind of Colin Minihan (It Stains The Sand Red) with What Keeps You Alive. Another suspenseful knife to the throat of 21st Century genre cinema. More total shock and abject terror in the UK TV premiere of Paul Hyett’s sinister sci-fi horror fantasy Peripehral, which plays like a twisted cross between Ex Machina and Videodrome starring Hyett regular Hannah Arterton.

There is also a number of channel premieres like the gore-filled, stomach-churning zombie chiller Death Trench. Producer M. Night Shyamalan’s claustrophobic supernatural thriller Devil. These films might have plenty of blood and gut others promise to attack your funny bone with the fast, funny and smart B-movie horror parody Zombeavers. The Midnight Man stars Horror legends Robert Englund and Lin Shaye in a terrifying, supernatural game of cat and mouse.
