When Dawn of the Dead was released in Italy as Zombi the late great Lucio Fulci took it upon himself to make his own sequel, Zombi 2 - also known as Zombie Flesh-Eaters.

Thus, proving that copyright was a grey area back in the 1980s, director Ciro Ippolito decided that there was nothing to stop him making a follow-up to Ridley Scott's sci-fi suspenser Alien - resulting in the birth of Alien 2: On Earth. This Italian offering came six years before Aliens and, with a bevy of low budget charm and the occasional spilled brain, spins out a story of an extraterrestrial terror landing in the here and now and stalking its prey in contemporary California. Putting themselves up against this otherworldly entity are a small group of explorers - and seasoned fans of Italian shock will doubtlessly notice the great Michele Soavi among the cast! Arguably more exciting than Alien 3, decades later and Alien 2: On Earth might well be the film that David Fincher wishes he had made.

One of the most original and entertaining of the revenge-of-nature films that characterised mid-1970s American horror, 'Squirm' begins with a pylon being downed by a thunderstorm, sending millions of volts into the wet, conductive mud, which naturally gives hundreds of thousands of its wriggly

inhabitants an insatiable hunger for human flesh. And since the accident has also inconveniently cut off the electricity to Fly Creek, Georgia, its population could hardly be more vulnerable when the sun goes down. Houses can be barricaded against most intruders, but what happens when they're small enough to get into the water supply?
