DVDanger: A Dark Song

Stare into the abyss, and the abyss stares straight back at you. That's the poetic magic at the heart of new supernatural thriller A Dark Song.

DVDanger: Tales From the Hood

A great anthology needs two things: great stories, and a great linking mechanism, chaining the horror together.

It was hailed as a taboo-busting masterpiece by some; others thought its violence a portent of a frightening moral degeneracy.
