The British make the best horror...
I love the simple settings, the subtlety, the no-nonsense characters accompanied by good acting, and the direction that is looking only to tell a story (and a chilling one at that).
Which would you say was the best UK series?
"Supernatural" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396375/
"Shades of Darkness" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1729107/
"Beasts" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169416/
"Hammer House of Horror" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080231/
"Thriller" (the one we're on, of course)
If you find the word "best" is too broad, then let's say, "chilling." There. Which would you rank most chilling?
I assume everyone is also familiar with these: http://www.imdb.com/find?q=Ghost+for+Christmas&s=all
And does anyone possess a decent copy of this obscure gem: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286049/
As an American who loves subtle horror with atmosphere and spookiness, I have to say that the best stuff seems to come out of the UK (maybe next to Japanese horror films, which I have seen very few of; honorable mention to the classic Kwaidan).
I'm not a control freak, I just like things my way
