10 Terrifying British Horror Movies You Probably Haven’t Seen
10. Deathwatch
The horrors of war are so universally feared that many movies focusing on thlowe deadly history of the world feel like accidental horror films. This 2002 British flick furthers that idea by giving the battlefield a pure shot of supernatural terror.
Deathwatch follows a collection of World War I soldiers - including popular British actors like Jamie Bell, Kris Marshall and Andy Serkis - who take shelter within an abandoned bunker in enemy territory. However, once night falls, they find that the threat of German soldiers is not the only thing they need to be afraid of, as an unknown force picks them off one by one.
This movie is dripping with atmosphere as it juggles between leaving you in paranoia and chucking scares your way. The creativity of the concept carries the film as it takes the horrifying idea of the trenches and turns them into a demonic labyrinth full of madness. Plus, besides the supernatural thrills, there is a focus on the brutality of war that keeps the flick grounded.
Make sure you don't sleep on this one, especially if the likes of 1917 and Dunkirk weren't spooky enough for you.
