TWO EVIL EYES
A dream project for longtime horror buffs, or so it seemed, this two-parter teamed George Romero and Dario Argento, each delivering an hour-long adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe story
TAXIDERMIA

A very good, chilly and disquieting BBC telefilm, adapted from the popular novel by Stephen Gregory and starring a young Ralph Fiennes
