Ten Steps
Ireland
All the ingredients of a standard horror yarn are here; a dark and creaky house with a serious draft problem and a babysitter who should know better than to go into the cellar during a blackout. There are exactly ten steps down into the cellar where the fuse has blown. But something is not quite right on this stormy evening when a brother and sister are left home alone. Writer/director Brendan Muldowney transcends this familiar material delivering, without blood or guts, the ten creepiest minutes you’ll spend watching television this year. Cast: Jill Harding, Paula Lee and Gerard Lee.

The Cat with Hands
England
Last night as I slumbered, I had a strange dream – you know this is the place where it happened – a little boy came face to face with the cat with two hands. This very creepy and surreal live action/animation about a cat who wants to be a person is written and directed by Robert Morgan. Be forewarned. Do not watch this with a cat in the room. What’s the matter — cat got your tongue? Principle cast: Livy Armstrong and Daniel Hogwood-Kane.

It’s high noon on the playing field. A tense showdown develops between a young girl and crow. Neither is willing to give an inch. Who will win this battle of wills?
