From the director of my personal favorite Poltergeist movie comes this very atmospheric early 70’s London Underground horror that is a terrific choice for a lazy Sunday evening! I always seem to love movies about things creeping around in underground tunnels and this is no…

of course when the UK makes a movie about cannibals in the subway, we get a patient procedural that is legitimately unnerving and gorgeously shot — when the US does it, we get CHUD

Before trying to stop an evil force known as Michael Myers, Donald Pleasence fought... underground subway Cannibals? I'm back to the regular schedule, meaning, tons of weird films I knew nothing of their existance til today... and by the rating its clear this isn't one…
