Who's seen a film called - The people under the stairs? It's got this ****ed up sicko in it that dresses up like a gimp and chops people up in the basement. I ain't seen it in years. Proper wierd film, it's like a cross between The Goonies and Texas Chainsaw massacre.
From the recently departed Wes Craven.
He had another one around 1986 or so called Deadly friend. Really cheesy 80's horror, but the re-animated girlfriend was pretty creepy. Standout scene has Mrs. Fratelli from The Goonies getting her head absolutely splattered against a wall by a basketball.

Not really creepy but certainly an evil ****ed up individual.
The gang leader in Eden lake ,far too realistic for my liking .
If you haven't seen it it's truly disturbing.
Yeah, Eden Lake was pretty disturbing. The ending was twisted.
Wasn't it one of the first movies Michael Fassbender starred in? Or was it another guy who's a fairly big star now?

Honestly, the movie underwhelmed me. I am a huge fan of the novel. Probably my second fave book of all time.
There was SOOOOO much left off the movie, and they completely changed the format. Almost certainly because it was a Made for TV mini-series. I have heard rumors of doing a theatrical version that will be closer to the book. If that is true, and they don't screw it up, then as good as Tim Curry was, a new one would blow him away for creepiness.
I don't know if you can play our dvd's over there, but if you can and are interested, I can send you a copy of the whole movie so you can check it out. Sounds like you regret not having seen the second half.

You don't need to do that mate, although it's a cracking offer :-D I think these can probably be picked up on Amazon for a few pounds. It's just getting round to buying a copy.
Like I said, I thought the first half was cool and felt gutted when it just stopped for the next installment. Stephen King books are always too long for my liking. By the time he's finished describing every character in minute detail i've lost interest and seen the film. Christine and the Tommy Knockers were classic for this. I love the film Christine, but my god, the book is long and slow.
No worries. A blank dvd is like what, 50p? I wouldn't have charged anything but shipping for it, so it's your call. Just wanted to put the offer out there.
I love Stephen King. First time I read IT, it was finished in under a week. I'm actually reading my all time fave book, The Stand, right now, for about the 8th time. Long? It's only 1200+ pages, lol. 8)
