Then on Thurs 22nd Aug and Frid 23rd Aug at 9pm the channel premieres Part 1 & 2 of CRYSTAL LAKE MEMORIES: THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF FRIDAY 13TH (2013) – an exhaustive documentary that delves deep into the history and impact of the “Friday the 13th” franchise, one of the most enduring and influential horror series in cinema history.
On Tuesday 6th August, the channel celebrates the birthday of Italian genre master Umberto Lenzi with a double-bill of his most challenging films. At 9pm there is a rare opportunity to see MAN FROM A DEEP RIVER (1972), a film that marked the cinematic beginnings of the cannibal genre, and then at 11pm is NIGHTMARE CITY, which remains a beloved piece of zombie cinema for its daring approach and its influence on the evolution of the genre.
