. MARCH HIGHLIGHTS IN BRIEF…
SPECIAL EVENT
It can be murder being a teenager – trying to cope with all those hormones and bad hair days… not to mention all those serial killers, beasts and demons on their back. Tune into our TEEN SCREAM WEEKEND from 10PM ON FRIDAY 18, SATURDAY 19 AND SUNDAY 20 MARCH for growing pains with a twist as the likes of JESSICA ALBA (DARK ANGEL) and WES BENTLEY (AMERICAN BEAUTY) experience the dark side of puberty. Featuring a movie double-bill every night, you’ll be seeing red as we remind you of the bloodier side of being a teen…
SERIES PREMIERE
If you can’t stand the sight of blood but still like a bit of slicing and dicing action, check out ROBOT WARS, every WEEKDAY AT 6PM FROM MONDAY 7 MARCH. Just like it says on the tin, this electrifying series has two big selling points – it’s got lots of robots, and they all go to war. It’s spanners at the ready as metal grates against metal, chains collide against saws and nuts and bolts start to fly…
MOVIES AT 10
With a different offering every night – from bizarre to surreal, funny to serious, happy to sad, but always straight-up undiluted science fiction – there’s something for anyone who enjoys a good yarn with a sting in the tail. We’ve got 7 premieres this month and we’re guessing the following are going to be firm favourites:
THE CURSE OF THE KOMODO on FRIDAY 4
When their genetic experiment goes horribly wrong, a team of scientists must stop a batch of killer komodo dragons from escaping from a remote tropical island. There’s just one catch, the dragons are really hungry…
WENDIGO on FRIDAY 11
Brace yourselves for this menacing supernatural drama about a family holiday turned nightmare when a fluke car accident releases the spirit of the Wendigo – a fabled beast from Indian folklore…
ARACHNOPHOBIA on MONDAY 14
When a doctor (Jeff Daniels) moves to a small California town, he’s not expecting a series of sudden deaths thanks to a deadly spider that’s unwittingly been transported from a Venezuelan rain forest. And he’s none too chuffed to find out that the eight-legged newcomer has started to breed!
DARK CITY on MONDAY 28
Rufus Sewell is having a really bad day after waking up from the night before. Nope, there’s not a minger in his bed – he’s lost his memory and he’s wanted for murder. Like that isn’t bad enough, he finds out Kiefer Sutherland is in cahoots with some mysterious beings who can manipulate time! . ]]>
