A small backwater of Texas finds its self at the mercy of a serial killer that they thought had long ago disappeared. When Fenton Meiks turns up at the FBI's door to tell them without doubt who the killer is (or indeed are) he also gives a chilling account of his family's history and the reasons behind the killings of the past and those of the present. Frailty is a tight unnerving psychological horror, creepy and unredemptive.

RED RIDING TRILOGY (DISC 1) (2009)
Certification18 Our Rating
A masterful adaptation of David Peace's Ellroy-esque noir trilogy. In '1974', the first chapter, a rookie journalist looks to solve the increasingly vexing case of a serial killer on the loose. A bleak vision of corruption in an emphatically isolated 'North', which raises the game for levels of darkness in TV drama. Andrew Garfield gives a captivating performance as the idealistic journalist in way over his head. Highly recommended.

The trilogy continues and life in West Riding becomes grimmer. Police corruption interferes with the search for a killer in Yorkshire, England. This time, Paddy Considine's Mancunian copper-with-a-heart-of-gold is brought in to head the inquiry into the unsolved murders. Like the journo before him, he finds resistance wherever he turns. Gripping stuff, based on David Peace's novel "Nineteen Eighty"

Certification18 Our Rating
The grisly trilogy concludes in dramatic fashion. Mark Addy gives a sterling performance as a burned-out solicitor whose conscience won't let him give up. The seemingly untouchable, corrupt West Yorkshire police, and the true evil mastermind behind the child abductions and murders of the last 14 years are dragged into the light. Excellent British television.

THE DEVIL'S REJECTS (2005)
Certification18 Our Rating
The Firefly family are back and as demented as ever...hooray! On the run, and hunted by an equally deranged sheriff bent on revenge, they cut a brutal swathe through the midwest desert, gleefully dispatching anyone who crosses their path. With a fantastic score, stunning locations and the coolest characters to come out of the horror genre since the Cenobites, The Devil's Rejects will make you feel dirty but oh so good...

On holiday in France Rex and Saskia stop at a garage, she walks to the shops and disappears. Three years later Rex starts receiving postcards from her abductor promising to reveal her fate. Reminiscent of Blue Velvet, the understated direction creates a sinister and shocking atmosphere.
