Recommendation: Day 7.

Wilderness - (2006) .

Wilderness is a brutal, adrenaline-soaked slice of British horror that mashes up *Lord of the Flies* with *Deliverance*. When a group of young offenders are dumped on a remote island for rehabilitation, their survival boot camp turns into a bloodbath as a mysterious killer hunts them down. Gritty, grim, and unflinchingly violent, the film delivers raw tension and savage energy, even if its social commentary sometimes gets lost in the carnage. A vicious, underrated survival shocker that doesn’t pull its punches.

Recommendation: Day 6.

The Cottage (2008):

The Cottage is a wickedly twisted blend of black comedy and brutal horror that starts as a bumbling kidnapping farce before swerving hard into slasher territory. Andy Serkis shines as the short-tempered crook trying to hold it all together while chaos — and dismemberment — erupts around him. It’s uneven but gleefully nasty, with enough gore and dark laughs to satisfy fans of British horror-comedy. Think Snatch meets The Texas Chain Saw Massacre — and you’re halfway there.

Recommendation: Day 5.

Island of Terror (1966):

Island of Terror is a lean, eerie slice of 1960s British sci-fi horror that proves brains beat brawn—literally. When boneless corpses start piling up on a remote island, Peter Cushing and Edward Judd face off against “silicates,” slow-moving but unsettlingly smart monsters born from a scientific experiment gone wrong. Despite its modest budget, the film delivers genuine tension, clever pacing, and Cushing’s signature gravitas. The effects may wobble by modern standards, but its atmosphere and imagination still hold up. A crisp, creepy gem for fans of intelligent vintage horror.

Recommendation: Day 4.

The Hand of Night (1968)

A forgotten gem of British gothic horror, The Hand of Night (aka Beast of Morocco) trades castles and fog for the eerie sands of Marrakech. When an English architect (William Sylvester) stumbles into a strange affair with a mysterious woman who may not be entirely human, the film drifts into a hypnotic dreamscape of death, desire, and Eastern mysticism. It’s slow-burning and surreal — more haunted mood than outright terror — but its sun-drenched visuals and melancholy tone make it linger like a half-remembered nightmare. Think Hammer Horror meets Carnival of Souls, filtered through desert heat and existential dread.

Recommendation, Day 3:

Inseminoid -1981.

Norman J. Warren’s wild sci-fi shocker crashes into Alien territory with a low-budget British grindhouse twist. It’s messy, camp, and gloriously unhinged—equal parts B-movie schlock and nightmare fuel. Not for everyone, but if you love your sci-fi horror cheap, nasty, and totally bonkers, this cult oddity delivers.

The October film fun continues.

Recommendation, Day 2.

Doctor Blood’s Coffin - 1961

A moody slice of vintage British horror where mad science meets Cornish superstition. It’s creaky, campy, and dripping with eerie atmosphere. Not Hammer-level chills, but if you love foggy villages, sinister doctors, and classic B-movie vibes, this coffin is worth opening. ⚰️

Horror season is upon us once again and here at GROT we thought it'd be fun to do a film recommendation for everyday of October but we're recommending with a twist.
We're only going to be looking at British horror films from multiple subgenres, so here we go!

Recommendation,Day 1:

TROG -1970.

Joan Crawford’s final film, TROG (1970), is a glorious train wreck of camp cinema. Half caveman horror, half soap opera melodrama, it pits Crawford against a rubbery ape-man in a battle for science, sanity, and sheer screen presence. Clunky, cheap, and endlessly entertaining — the kind of cult oddity you’ll never forget once you’ve seen it.
