This Halloween, several TVO-linked films will have their television premieres on Film4. 

A Dark Song – Wednesday 25th

Steve Oram stars in this Irish horror film about a damaged occultist and a grieving, determined young woman. The plot follows a black magic ritual that the pair risk their lives and souls to perform over the course of six months, hoping that it will grant them what they want.

Here’s a video of Steve introducing the film for Monster Fest 2016.

Tank 432 – Thursday 26th

Described as “a heady blend of Dog Soldiers and Jacob’s Ladder”, this film features Michael Smiley and Tom Meeten among its cast. It follows a group of soldiers on the run, whose only chance of survival is to hide inside an abandoned tank. Once holed up inside the tank however, they discover the hatch is jammed and there is no way out.

Aaaaaaaah! – Saturday 28th

Steve Oram‘s Aaaaaaaah! has a jam-packed cast of TVO regulars including Tom Meeten, Julian Barratt, Noel Fielding, Alice Lowe, Sean Reynard, Waen Shepherd and Tony Way, along with Toyah Wilcox and Julian Rhind-Tutt. The truly demented film takes audiences on a dark, depraved journey into a world that isn’t too dissimilar from our own… apart from the fact that everyone communicates and behaves like apes.
