BBC One's play-along murder mystery show Armchair Detectives is brilliant fun. Here's why crime TV and puzzle fans should tune in...

There’s been a murder…

Well, actually, there’ve been several. One every weekday, to be precise. All occurring at approximately 2:15pm in the Scottish coastal town of Mortcliff. But, as fans of BBC1’s new mystery show Armchair Detectives will tell you, “no one gets away with murder in Mortcliff!”

Partially this is down to the town’s police force and its crack team of investigating officers; Di Knight (Stephen Billington), DC Slater (Roger Jean Nsengiyumva) and Soco Simmons (Sarah Baxendale). However, watching them from comfy armchairs in the BBC studio each day are trios of plucky amateur sleuths who pit...

Roger Corman and folks at The Asylum have a lot to answer for… That’s all I’m saying.

Sharknado. A film that proved you don’t have to have a lot of money or great CGI to pull in an audience on the Syfy channel. All you need is a giant creature and a ridiculous concept! Since the debut of That film, it seems like Syfy have greenlit any and all monster movie scripts that they’re sent. Hence we come to Lake Placid vs. Anaconda.

A few years ago the idea of these two monster-movie franchises coming together – especially given they weere originally made by two different studios (Lake Placid was a Fox production, whilst...

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Sony Pictures. Director: A.B. Stone. Writers: Berkeley Anderson. Cast: Corin Nemec, Yancy Butler, Stephen Billington and Skye Lourie. Special effects can create remarkable environments, like those seen in Bladerunner (1982). Special effects can also create artificiality, if they are the focus of the film. Unfortunately, Lake Placid vs. Anaconda casts several of its creatures in the digital realm; the result rings very false. The film's reality is further hampered by the overuse of Adr. Many minor characters have entire strings of dialogue dubbed. And, the production company, UFO Films, continues with its long series of blunders with this kitschy film. Lake Placid vs. Anaconda should be hung out to dry. The film's plot is a real mess. Into the fourth sequel, a corporate executive wants to capture a genetically mutated snake, so that she can alter it even more. Meanwhile,...

Lizzie Roper was ''absolutely devastated'' when she learnt she was being axed from 'Hollyoaks'. The blonde beauty - who played detective Sam Lomax in the Channel 4 soap - felt crushed when she was told her character was being killed off in a nasty car crash. Speaking to SoapSquawk.com, she said: ''I was absolutely devastated, I'd completely fallen in love with Liverpool, I was totally enamoured with 'Hollyoaks' and how organic it is. It was entirely shocking.'' However, Lizzie admits she was glad bosses decided to kill her off along with her co-star Stephen Billington - who played her husband Danny Lomax...

*here be spoilers.

Director: Manuel Carballo.

Writer: David Muñoz (screenplay).

Cast: Sophie Vavasseur, Stephen Billington and Richard Felix.

Emma Hawkins (Sophie Vavasseur) seems to be the typical everyday teenage girl living outside of London proper. She has her atypical problems and obvious life struggles with her parents. But when audiences have the foreknowledge of knowing where Exorcismus is going, any shock value is going to be rendered moot.

Although there are no scares to be found, the real fright is in seeing how this young lady deal with life lessons and responsibilities she tends to avoid. After she has a row with mom over not being able to go to London for a rock concert, what she does next seems visceral. She cuts her hand to alleviate the anguish.

That action is also an invitation for the devil to come knocking. He does and Emma has an epileptic seizure. Emma...

Exorcismus, the devilish 2010 Spanish horror film, will come to DVD from IFC on June 7.

Priest are called in to drive the evil spirits from Sophie Vavasseur in Exorcismus.

Demonic possession films are the happening horror subject of late, with The Last Exorcism now on DVD and The Rite just announced.

Directed by Manuel Carballo and entitled The Possession of Emma Evans in its native country, the movie tells of secluded, home-schooled teenager Emma (Sophie Vavasseur) whose uncontrolled behavior causes her to believe she is possessed by the devil. When terrible things start to happen to Emma’s friends and family, her parents grudgingly call in the help of her uncle (Stephen Billington), a priest who attempts to drive out the evil spirits with an exorcism

There’s generally solid buzz in the horror community about Exorcismus, which received a theatrical release in Spain, Portugal and the Far East, but is...

Earning double points in the poor taste stakes of shameless self-promotion, straight-to-video horror mess Exorcismus – written by David Muñoz, a financial advisor by trade, who occasionally dabbles in film – has been sold not only on the basis that it is from Filmax, the studio behind the brilliant [Rec] films, but also that it “stars” Doug Bradley, better known to horror aficionados as Hellraiser’s iconic ghoul Pinhead. That the film shares practically no DNA with either [Rec] film (aside from also having a Spanish director), and that Bradley’s “starring role” actually consists of a two-minute cameo near the end, is quite the indication of quite how feverishly the film’s marketers had to scrape the bottom of the barrel in order to drum up some fuss about this ghastly horror pic.

Socially awkward, home-schooled teenager Emma (Sophie Vavasseur) one day begins to suffer from convulsions and act out in ways that she has no memory of.

Exorcismus

Stars: Sophie Vavasseur, Stephen Billington, Richard Felix, Jo-Anne Stockham, Doug Bradley | Written by David Munoz | Directed by Manuel Carballo

Exorcismus tells the story of troubled teenager Emma (Vavassuer) who suddenly becomes prone to fits and displays strange and aggressive behaviour. Her family think she merely needs psychiatric help, that is until Emma suddenly levitates in the family kitchen! Realising there maybe more to Emma’s odd behaviour, her parents bring in Christopher, a priest, to exorcise whatever demon is possessing her. But her exorcism is only the beginning…

There are some films that come out of nowhere and surprise you – Exorcismus is one such film. What ostensibly starts as a rip-off of The Exorcist, the film takes a turn in its final act that, like The Last Exorcism, changes everything we’ve seen before and turns the movie from a mere horror film about exorcism to a story about mans greed,...

In recent years, and especially since the release of 2007’s The Orphanage, Spanish horror has started to challenge its Japanese rival. The production company behind [Rec] and [Rec] 2, bring us a UK-set imaginative take on the age-old exorcism movie...

Fifteen year-old Emma is a normal moody teenager, drinking, making-out with boys, baby-sitting her younger brother and ranting and raving when she doesn’t get her way. Educated at home but keen to attend the local school, she hangs around with older neighbours who share her rock-chick ways, trying to tempt her with concerts. Frustrated by her parents’ rules, Emma starts to self-harm but what at first appears to be an innocent cry for help soon turns into something more sinister.

An inexplicable fit leads to Emma hearing muffled sounds, getting rashes and having vomiting fits. It’s only after her psychologist dies during a hypnosis session and she starts to levitate, that...

With the recent flurry of demonic flicks haunting the movies lately, another one can be added to the heap and we have some new items from Exorcismus for you to feast upon. Below is the trailer and some selected movie stills as well as the one-sheet for your viewing pleasure. Hold on to your souls and check out the visuals below and you can also catch the film via VOD from IFC Midnight, now playing.

With Filmax International releasing Manuel Carballo's The Possession Of Emma Evans (Exorcismus) in theaters December 29th, Bloody Disgusting was supplied with 6 clips from the film starring Sophie Vavasseur (Evelyn), Stephen Billington (Resident Evil), Richard Felix (Fragile), Douglas Bradley (Hellraiser) and Tommy Bastow.

If Manuel Carballo's 'Exorcismus' (Aka 'The Possession of Emma Evans' and/or 'La posesion de Emma Evans') is every girls perfect Valentine's gift then UK males are in luck! The new exorcism feature from Spain, and featuring 'Hellraiser's Doug Bradley, will arrive on UK DVD shelves on 14 February 2011. From a script penned by David Munoz the movie, which will be distribyed by Entertainment One, will manage to cling onto it's more interesting 'Exorcismus' title instead of the 'Emma Evans' one which quite frankly is similar to other stuff already out there. Stephen Billington, Tommy Bastow, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix, Jo-Anne Stockham, Brendan Price, Claudia Costas, Emma Reynolds and Lazzaro E. Oertli Ortiz round off the cast. Check out the trailer below....

Exorcismus, or The Possession of Emma Evans as it may be called, is an English language horror from the producers of [Rec]and [Rec]2 and there’s a new trailer out in the open today.

If you’re looking forward to Daniel Stamm’s The Last Exorcism then you might want to check out this trailer as it has similar themes and, perhaps inevitably, centres itself around the strange behaviour of a young girl who may, or may not, be possessed*.

In common with the [Rec] films the strange happenings and subsequent exorcisms are captured on a video camera, although as you’ll see from the trailer the movie is filmed conventionally and not as a mock/documentary.

The film was directed by Manuel Carballo and stars Doug Bradley, Tommy Bastow, Stephen Billington and Sophie Vavasseur as Emma.

It’s not new news that a trailer for the Spanish horror movie Exorcismus - recently re-badged to the painfully generic The Possession of Emma Evans - has already hit the web, but as the Spanish official site for the film has just gone live with an uber high-res version of the trailer, we thought it worth a quick look.

Having your main operations running out of Spain doesn't help when you're coming up with a title for a movie, especially when it's basically the exact same thing as a forthcoming U.S. release. Filmax announced today that they'll be retitling Exorcismus to The Possession Of Emma Evans. If this title sticks, we'll be seeing both that and The Possession of David O'Reilly side by side on the sales rack come 2011. I expect another title change by whomever acquires the film for the States. Directed by Manuel Carballo, Filmax's Possession will explore the popular horror theme of exorcism, focusing on a young girl, Emma, whose erratic behaviour forces her family to bring in a priest to try and resolve the problem through hypnosis. The disturbing results are recorded on a secret camera. Tommy Bastow, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix, Douglas Bradley, Stephen Billington all star.

With it’s hugely successful scare flicks [Rec] and ]Rec]2, Spanish movie house Filmax has been making quite a name for itself on the quality horror front, and with the arrival of some new stills for their latest creation the English language possession horror Exorcismus, they aren’t showing any signs of letting up anytime soon. Spaniard Manuel Carballo is directing, whilst the all grown up Sophie Vavasseur (yes indeed the little girl in ‘Resident Evil: Apocalypse’) leads an international cast, including; Tommy Bastow, Stephen Billington and Douglas Bradley.

How can you not be excited for Manuel Carballo's Exorcismus? After Filmax killed it twice with Rec and Rec 2, it's hard to imagine them dropping the ball on yet another exorcist-themed horror film. Starring Tommy Bastow, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix, Douglas Bradley and Stephen Billington, Bloody Disgusting was provided with the first ever still from the film that explores the popular horror theme of exorcism, focusing on a young girl, Suzy, whose erratic behaviour forces her family to bring in a priest to try and resolve the problem through hypnosis. The disturbing results are recorded on a secret camera.

Variety reports that Filmax had pre-sold distro rights for Manuel Carballo's English-language possession pic Exorcismus , that include U.K. rights to E1 Entertainment U.K., Vendetta in Australia and an Italo licensing pact with Mediafilm. Further deals include Gulf Film for the Middle East, Portugal's Lusomundo and Cdi for Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile. Many of these distributors handled the Filmax-produced and sold Rec 2 . Written by David Munoz ( The Devil's Backbone ), Exorcismus concerns a possessed 15-year-old and the priest assigned to watch over her. The girl sets up a hidden camera in her bedroom to record his sessions with her. Doug Bradley, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix and Stephen Billington star. We'll keep you posted on a Us release as soon as we hear it.

Directed by Manuel Carballo from a screenplay by David Munoz is Filmax's new exorcism tale, Exorcismus, which stars Tommy Bastow, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix, Douglas Bradley and Stephen Billington. "Emma is sick. Tired of studying at home instead of going to school, tired of baby-sitting his younger brother, tired of their parents. Emma's parents are overprotective, agnostics and overly strict with their children's education. Emma wants a different life, wants to be free ... Inexplicably Emma begins to suffer strange attacks that parents attributed to psychological problems, but she knows that these attacks have a very different origin. Emma knows that something terrible inside that is gripping it. Emma wanted to be free ... Some things are best ever wished absence thereof..."...

With the recent success of Rec and Rec 2, my perception of Filmax International has changed completely. I always thought they were a generic production company that released eerily similar films; never bad, but also not all that great. These days Filmax has become a trusted brand, so my anticipation for Manuel Carballo's Exorcismus is through the roof. I'm quite sure the end of the road equals disappointment, but until then I'll enjoy the anticipation. Below you'll find a new synopsis and promo art for the film starring Tommy Bastow, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix, Douglas Bradley and Stephen Billington.

Spanish production house Filmax previously announced it would be following up [Rec] 2 with the Manuel Carballo-helmed Exorcismus, and today the first photos from the flick have appeared online.

The film was shot in English with an international cast led by Sophie Vavasseur (Resident Evil: Apocalypse). Rounding out the cast are Richard Felix (Perfume; Fragile), Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), and Stephen Billington (Resident Evil), among others.

They're not very exciting, however, a handful of images from Filmax's Spanish horror film Exorcismus . See all of the site's photos here .

Doug Bradley, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix and Stephen Billington star.

Spain really is trying to become the next Japan, at least in terms of horror movie output, and helping shepherd the movement is studio Flimax, which produced [Rec] and [Rec] 2. Exorcismus is the company's English-language production that started shooting October 5 in and around Barcelona and has put together a horror fan-friendly cast with Hellraiser's Doug Bradley and Resident Evil actors Sophie Vavasseur (Resident Evil: Apocalypse) and Stephen Billington (Resident Evil).

Relative newcomer Manuel Carballo (Filmax's The Last of the Just) will direct the script by David Munoz (The Devil's Backbone).

The synopsis, according to Spanish horror site Aullidos, is roughly translated below. Real rough. We preferit through an online Spanish-to-English translator once, translate it back into Spanish, and then back into English for optimum results:

Exorcismus counts as Emma is fed above. It is satiated to study between company instead of going to the institute, is satiated to do of kangaroo of his small brother,...

On Monday, October 5, shooting commenced on Exorcismus, the latest fear film to come out of Spain’s Filmax studios. As with so many Spanish genre productions of the last decade, this one is also directed by a relative newcomer to feature filmmaking, Manuel Carballo (taking over for originally slated Luis de la Madrid). And in common with most of the company's previous horror movies (such as Arachnid, Dagon, Darkness, The MacHinist and Beyond Re-animator), the movie is being filmed with a multinational cast in English, on locations in and around the city of Barcelona.
