Freeze gave us Lovecraftian horrors in the Arctic, now for a followup writer/director Charlie Steeds takes us to the Antarctic to face even more of them in the deep sea thriller Gods of the Deep.
Jim Peters is a professor of astrobiology at Miskatonic University’s London campus. He’s carrying on the work of his father, who vanished under mysterious circumstances while working for The Pickman Corporation. They help fund his research, but that doesn’t mean he trusts them. But when they want him to join an expedition to explore a strange structure discovered in an oceanic trench off Antarctica, he can’t refuse.
The film skips over the two months of training they need without so much as a Rocky-style montage, so the next thing you know...

Children of the Night (no relation to the Tony Randel-directed film from 1991) is a first for Charlie Steeds’ company Dark Temple Motion Pictures. Where their previous films such as Freeze and The Barge People have all been Steeds’ own productions, this time they served as producers for the debut feature from writer/director William Stead. Regular readers know I’m a fan of Steed’s films, so of course I was curious to see if his talents extended to producing other filmmakers’ work.
During World War II a German attack on an English position leaves two survivors, Jim and Robert wandering the French countryside trying to reach Normandy.

It's a wonder there weren't more films combining the aesthetics and tone of blaxploitation (or perhaps there were and this is a big blind spot in my knowledge). Given the terrific rise in black horror, it's the perfect melding of ideas that can offer not only exciting dialogue and action, but splatter gore as well. It's an interesting choice for filmmaker Charlie Steed whose director and producing work has been very much based in his native Britain's locations and culture, to take on the story of three Black people in 70s southern America. But the result looks to be a B-movie of the best kind, with action, horror, and splatter, in a setting that's (sadly) not far-fetched. 1970s...

Chad Ferrin, director of the superb horror comedy Exorcism at 30,000 Feet, is back behind the camera – this time as writer And director of this H.P. Lovecraft inspired horror that feels very much like a throwback to the the work of Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna – both of whom tackled the very same Lovecraftian-inspired themes in their work.
The Deep Ones sees a married couple, Alex (Gina La Piana) and Petri (Johann Urb) renting a beach side Airbnb only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbours and occurrences. This being a horror film the pair soon discover that they are in the grips of a mysterious cult and their ancient sea god.

I’ve been a fan, nay Huge fan, of writer/director Charlie Steeds since I first saw his 2017 British-made pastiche of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Escape From Cannibal Farm. Since then I’ve eagerly awaited each and every one of his films – though to be fair to Steeds, the releases of his film can be very haphazard. Winterskin debuted on DVD before The Barge People, which actually lensed first. Unfortunately, the UK release of the aforementioned Escape From Cannibal Farm remains in limbo thanks to 88 Films buying the rights and then deciding to focus on re-releasing cult films rather than new movies and sitting on it for 2 years (so far).

Charlie Steeds, director of [Escape From] Cannibal Farm, Winterskin and The Barge People is back once again for An English Haunting, an altogether different film for Steeds given his past track record.
You see those three aforementioned films are very much in a different realm than An English Haunting, they run the gamut from to exploitation to monster movie to 80s-throwback gore-fest. And whilst the previous three films homaged the kinds of movies you’d find in your local video shop back in the 80s/90s – the films of Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter etc.; An English Haunting is more in the vein of the classic M.R. James Christmas ghost stories than genre fans still rave about to this day. It also has one of the most succinct titles of recent memory!

Tagline: "Be Careful What You Look For." An English Haunting is the latest film from director Charlie Steeds (The Barge People). This latest title is set in the '60s, at an isolated estate. Here, Blake and his mother must look after their dying grandfather. But, something else resides in the manor. Already in post-production, this release stars: David Lenik. (Winterskin), Tessa Wood (The Last House on Cemetery Lane) and Rory Wilton. A trailer was released for An English Haunting recently and the film's sales art can also be found here, too. A longer synopsis, for the film, was released in 2019. These story details mention a live-in nurse, who has mysteriously disappeared. Ghosts haunt the halls. And, this dying grandfather's illness might have a supernatural origin. An English Haunting is being represented by High Octane Pictures, for a future release. This title is expected to show in the United States,...

Amazonian lagoons, Chicago sewer systems, Korean rivers, and the open ocean: all have been beset by submarine monsters with a hankering for human flesh. But until retro-styled man-fish-freakout The Barge People, Britain’s canals had yet to be given the genre treatment.
Directed by Charlie Steeds and penned by Christopher Lombard, this is a fish-out-of-water story in more ways than one. We follow sisters Kat (Kate Davies-Speak) and Sophie (Natalie Martins) and their respective partners Mark (Mark McKirdy) and Ben (Matt Swales), four well-to-do thirty-something city dwellers who hire a barge and set sail down the Kennet and Avon Canal in search of respite from modern-day distractions only to fall foul of a few of the area’s less hospitable denizens.
Britain’s waterways, rendered here in gorgeous golds and greens by cinematographer Michael Lloyd, are a fertile setting for fear and loathing. The narrowboat locale isolates the characters threefold—in a confined environment,...

Sisters Kat and Sophie, and their boyfriends Mark and Ben, are looking forward to a relaxing weekend cruising through the glorious British countryside canals on a luxury barge. Tension arises when businessman Ben refuses to turn off his mobile and fully enter the party spirit and stress is raised further when they damage another barge and its tenants track them down to the local pub. But nothing has prepared them for the intense midnight attack on their vessel by a family of flesh-eating fish mutants who have been lurking in the dark waters, waiting for their next meal.

Tagline: "You May Not Have Fur or Feathers...But You are Still Part of the Food Chain!" Charlie Steeds and his production company Dark Temple Motion Pictures have been busy. Recently, they released a new, concept poster for their cannibal horror film The Barge People. They are also busy completing their fourth film An English Haunting. On The Barge People, Raven Banner has recently started to represent this title, for a possible release in North America; though, a specific Us or Canadian release date has not been announced. Horror fans can find an update on both films here. Back in January of 2018, the first trailer for The Barge People was released. Since then, the film has had its World Premiere, in the United Kingdom, this past September. The production house promises a Us release in 2019, with UK release details still being hammered out.
