This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:020:00:05

This programme contains scenes which some viewers may find upsetting

0:00:050:00:09

From the chill down your neck, to the stain in your pants,

0:00:090:00:12

fear can do many things...

0:00:120:00:15

It can chill, thrill...

0:00:150:00:18

and entertain.

0:00:180:00:21

Which is precisely why we're here.

0:00:210:00:23

We've asked amateur film-makers to send us their creepiest...

0:00:230:00:27

goriest...

0:00:270:00:28

and freakiest short horror films for your viewing pleasure.

0:00:280:00:32

Movies such as Saw and Evil Dead both started out

0:00:330:00:36

as shorts before becoming multi-million-dollar franchises.

0:00:360:00:41

So we're hoping to find the next horror master

0:00:410:00:43

worthy of a blood-curdling blockbuster.

0:00:430:00:46

This is The Fear,

0:00:490:00:51

where who scares...wins.

0:00:510:00:53

Oh, my God!

0:00:550:00:57

Welcome to the screaming room!

0:01:110:01:13

Here we'll be spooking an audience of horror fans with

0:01:130:01:16

a host of terrifying short films.

0:01:160:01:19

They'll vote for their scariest in this special cinema

0:01:190:01:22

rigged with cameras to catch their every jump, scream and cry.

0:01:220:01:27

Oh, my God!

0:01:270:01:28

So, let's welcome back the horror fans tasked with rating our films.

0:01:280:01:33

Call 911 now!

0:01:330:01:34

Included in our audience are London lads Antoine, Nick and Daniel,

0:01:340:01:39

who like their horror like...

0:01:390:01:41

they like their steaks.

0:01:410:01:42

I prefer it, like, when it's, like, when it's proper bloody.

0:01:420:01:46

-And gory.

-Yeah, man.

0:01:460:01:48

Perky young things Poppy and Joe.

0:01:480:01:51

My top keeps coming down, you can see my bra.

0:01:510:01:54

I think my hair covers it, but I don't know.

0:01:540:01:57

Eyes front, Joe!

0:01:570:01:59

And medical...er...professionals Aaron and Michelle.

0:01:590:02:02

-What are they?

-Panadol.

0:02:020:02:03

HE SHUDDERS

0:02:030:02:05

I've got meningitis.

0:02:050:02:06

Developing a taste for the gruesome, it's sisters Amelia and Grace.

0:02:070:02:11

This popcorn tastes like banana.

0:02:110:02:13

-No, it doesn't.

-Yeah.

-It definitely does not.

0:02:130:02:16

And terrified of everything except horror movies,

0:02:160:02:19

film buffs Brad and Ash.

0:02:190:02:20

You know what scares me?

0:02:200:02:22

-Sharks.

-Earthquakes and sharks.

-World hunger.

0:02:220:02:25

Remember, these guys will be scoring each film out of 10

0:02:280:02:31

on scariness alone.

0:02:310:02:33

So a 1 would be a kitten being put into a watering can.

0:02:330:02:36

A 10 would be a watering can put into a kitten.

0:02:360:02:40

The only rules are that each film must be under four minutes

0:02:400:02:43

and made by non-professional film-makers.

0:02:430:02:46

Got that? Let's put on a film, then.

0:02:460:02:48

The first offering comes from 18-year-old George Moore,

0:02:500:02:53

a student at the University of the Arts, London,

0:02:530:02:55

and I'm guessing not a real blonde.

0:02:550:02:57

George likes to touch pianos,

0:02:570:02:58

stand near pictures that may or may not be relevant to

0:02:580:03:01

the upcoming movie, and be really good at drawing.

0:03:010:03:04

So, make yourself comfortable for something really uncomfortable.

0:03:040:03:08

This is The Portrait.

-Why did she buy that painting in the first place? She's a weirdo!

-I know.

0:06:010:06:04

Good God, I hope that doesn't happen to the full-sized portrait

0:06:060:06:09

I've got of Robin Thicke in my bathroom.

0:06:090:06:12

Remember that these films are being marked on scariness alone.

0:06:120:06:15

The three with the highest score at the end of the series will be

0:06:150:06:18

put before Blair Witch Project co-director Eduardo Sanchez,

0:06:180:06:21

who will pick the ultimate winner.

0:06:210:06:23

So, did The Portrait scare the Picasso out of our audience?

0:06:230:06:27

-Nick jumped! It wasn't scary.

-It got you, it got you.

0:06:290:06:33

THEY SCREAM AND LAUGH

0:06:330:06:37

I'm not going to front, that got me there, yeah.

0:06:370:06:39

GASPS

0:06:390:06:41

I think The Portrait could've been scarier, in my opinion.

0:06:420:06:45

-I found it really scary. I had little heart palpitations.

-But it doesn't take a lot for you.

0:06:450:06:49

SHE SCREAMS

0:06:490:06:53

It was scary, it was scary.

0:06:530:06:54

Oh, my God!

0:06:560:06:57

I thought it was one of the better ones we've seen so far.

0:06:570:07:00

Of course, we all express fear in different ways,

0:07:030:07:05

but it seems the star of The Portrait is

0:07:050:07:08

a fan of the traditional method.

0:07:080:07:10

CREAKING

0:07:120:07:14

Did she fart?

0:07:140:07:16

She just farted. I'm not going to lie.

0:07:160:07:19

Still, let's be honest, though, she brought it all on herself, right?

0:07:190:07:22

SHE SCREAMS

0:07:230:07:25

I feel like she deserved what she got.

0:07:250:07:27

If you have something like that on your wall...

0:07:270:07:29

I bet she bought it from one of them old scary little antique shops.

0:07:290:07:33

Exactly. You just wouldn't do it.

0:07:330:07:35

You'd get something like flowers or unicorns or a portrait of yourself.

0:07:350:07:38

I've just realised it looks like a dirty juggalo.

0:07:380:07:41

THEY LAUGH

0:07:410:07:43

In fairness, if a juggalo turned up in my bedroom, I'd be terrified.

0:07:430:07:48

So, it seems The Portrait creeped a few people out, but will it

0:07:480:07:53

be enough to take a place on the competition leaderboard?

0:07:530:07:56

Hang around,

0:07:560:07:57

because we'll be revealing all the scores at the end of the show.

0:07:570:08:00

Creeping creepily on, our next film comes from 36-year-old Rob Nevitt,

0:08:050:08:10

who, judging by this empty cinema,

0:08:100:08:12

has pretty severe personal hygiene issues. I'm kidding!

0:08:120:08:15

He runs a horror festival and I'm sure he smells like candyfloss.

0:08:150:08:18

This is his uber-unsettling offering, Metamorphosis.

0:08:180:08:22

Hello, I'm Dr Carter, you are Mr...?

0:08:290:08:33

-Frost.

-Mr Frost, yes. How are you feeling?

0:08:330:08:36

-I feel a bit sick.

-Just a side effect of the treatment, it'll pass.

0:08:360:08:41

Hopefully it comes as a comfort that your participation in this programme

0:08:420:08:46

brings us that bit closer to finding a possible cure.

0:08:460:08:50

So when do I get paid?

0:08:510:08:53

-All in good time.

-'Dr Carter to security, please.

0:08:530:08:57

'Immediately.'

0:08:570:08:59

What's the problem?

0:08:590:09:01

Nothing to worry about. Excuse me a minute.

0:09:030:09:06

HE HUMS

0:09:100:09:13

-BANGING

-What the f...?

0:09:130:09:16

'Security to level three...'

0:09:200:09:22

Er...hello?

0:09:250:09:26

'All patients please return to your rooms,

0:09:260:09:29

'there is no cause for alarm.'

0:09:290:09:31

What the f...?

0:09:340:09:36

HE PANTS

0:09:370:09:40

(Shit, shit, shit!)

0:09:590:10:01

Fuck!

0:10:570:10:59

..unsuccessful.

0:11:010:11:02

Please, can somebody clear Mr Frost away?

0:11:040:11:07

I like it. I like that.

0:11:210:11:24

I didn't like how he turned into some big, winged guy. But I liked it.

0:11:240:11:28

-That was my favourite film so far.

-Really?

0:11:280:11:30

Personally, I'd thoroughly recommend experimenting with your body.

0:11:310:11:35

I mean, how else are you going to discover that

0:11:350:11:37

a moustache like this can make you look so good?

0:11:370:11:40

But what about our hospital drama, Metamorphosis?

0:11:400:11:43

Did it give our audience a decent dose of shock therapy?

0:11:430:11:46

I liked Metamorphosis.

0:11:480:11:50

It was the first first-person genre one that we saw.

0:11:500:11:53

It's the huge thing in horror right now.

0:11:530:11:56

When you only see what the character sees, you put yourself

0:11:560:11:59

in their shoes and it makes it a lot more real to me.

0:11:590:12:01

It felt like a video game, when you're watching it.

0:12:010:12:04

I felt like I was in the video game and I was directing this character

0:12:040:12:07

to try and survive.

0:12:070:12:08

-And then at the end, we lost.

-Yeah.

0:12:080:12:11

So what exactly had those barkingly berserk boffins done

0:12:140:12:17

to our protagonist?

0:12:170:12:19

I think he turned into some sort of alien dragon.

0:12:190:12:22

Something like you'd see in Harry Potter.

0:12:220:12:24

I think he turned into a weird bat.

0:12:240:12:27

He's a butterfly!

0:12:270:12:29

He wasn't feathered wings - I don't think so -

0:12:290:12:31

and then the title was called Metamorphosis.

0:12:310:12:33

-(Am I saying that right?)

-(Yeah.)

0:12:330:12:36

I think you'd be a moth.

0:12:380:12:40

You're irritating, you're attracted to light.

0:12:400:12:43

No-one really wants to go to sleep with you in the room.

0:12:430:12:46

If you had wings, you'd be a bat

0:12:460:12:50

because you suck the life out of people and it rhymes with twat.

0:12:500:12:54

So, obviously, it's really worked out for me,

0:12:570:13:00

but how would our audience feel about a bit of experimentation?

0:13:000:13:04

You don't want to mess with your body like that!

0:13:040:13:06

I've dropped him to the clinic a few times.

0:13:060:13:08

Dropped who, who?

0:13:080:13:10

When you, um, took that pill.

0:13:100:13:11

I don't know what you're talking about, mate.

0:13:110:13:15

Well, if you're going to play, then play safe.

0:13:170:13:20

So, Metamorphosis is a wonderfully unusual addition to the

0:13:200:13:23

competition, but how did it score?

0:13:230:13:26

Find out at the end of the show.

0:13:260:13:27

Our next film is about those tricky date interactions -

0:13:330:13:36

the early nerves, the awkward silences.

0:13:360:13:39

Dinner Date comes from 24-year-old Sam Hoggarth

0:13:390:13:43

and 29-year-old Danny Cotton from Norwich.

0:13:430:13:45

Sam has a huge imaginary girlfriend and Danny likes bowling.

0:13:450:13:49

Hey, cool!

0:13:490:13:51

They hope their film, Dinner Date, whets the audience's appetite

0:13:510:13:54

and is still around for breakfast in the morning.

0:13:540:13:57

I'm so glad you could come over.

0:14:070:14:09

I find it a bit difficult to go out

0:14:090:14:13

and meet people sometimes. My, uh, friends tell me

0:14:130:14:16

that my...habits can put people off a little.

0:14:160:14:20

Even just now, my friend, she was on the telephone,

0:14:200:14:23

lecturing me about it all.

0:14:230:14:25

Oh, gosh, look at me, I'm just rabbiting on.

0:14:250:14:29

Shall we eat?

0:14:290:14:30

Oh...

0:14:340:14:35

I've done it again, haven't I?

0:14:380:14:40

Oh, well.

0:14:440:14:45

-That's a "gutsy" performance.

-Wahey!

0:14:570:15:00

Well, they say the best way to man's heart is through his stomach,

0:15:010:15:05

but it also turns out to be the best way to his gall bladder,

0:15:050:15:09

kidneys and lungs.

0:15:090:15:10

I actually quite liked Dinner Date.

0:15:100:15:12

It kind of blends the line between surrealist comedy horror.

0:15:120:15:16

It's very short, sharp and punchy.

0:15:160:15:18

It got my attention when I saw fishnet dress, to be fair.

0:15:180:15:21

I'm so glad you could come over.

0:15:210:15:23

Yeah, it was nice.

0:15:230:15:25

THEY LAUGH

0:15:250:15:27

Whilst it's clear where Antoine's mind is,

0:15:280:15:30

Dinner Date put the human anatomy at the forefront of everyone's brain.

0:15:300:15:34

Horror doesn't usually get much of a squirm out of me but, yeah, she was

0:15:340:15:38

really tearing at them guts.

0:15:380:15:39

If you go on a dinner date, normally you're expecting at least

0:15:390:15:42

a decent meal or a little bit of laughter or something like that.

0:15:420:15:45

Yeah, you don't expect to have your intestines eaten.

0:15:450:15:48

Yeah, and pulled out across the table in front of you.

0:15:480:15:50

-Yeah, I kind of hope that never happens to me.

-Yes.

0:15:500:15:53

Well, if Poppy and Joe need any tips,

0:15:550:15:57

the rest of the audience are on hand with their dating expertise.

0:15:570:16:00

For a good dinner date you need to be a good eater.

0:16:000:16:03

-You've had loads of bad dates.

-I've had lots of bad dates.

0:16:030:16:06

-What happened last night?

-I don't want to talk about it,

0:16:060:16:08

that doesn't matter. Um...

0:16:080:16:10

You kind of need a connection. I really don't think there was

0:16:100:16:13

a connection going between them in that film. Definitely not.

0:16:130:16:16

I haven't tried to eat my date at the dinner table!

0:16:160:16:19

HE LAUGHS

0:16:190:16:21

Oh...

0:16:210:16:22

Table manners, Michelle!

0:16:240:16:26

Dinner Date certainly gave our judges their fill of gory guts,

0:16:260:16:30

but did it have the stomach to make it onto our leaderboard

0:16:300:16:33

or is it just "offal"?

0:16:330:16:35

And so onto our next film, which is a nocturnal nightmare

0:16:400:16:43

by insurance underwriter Amy Freeman.

0:16:430:16:46

When she's not begging passing shoppers for funds for her next feature,

0:16:460:16:50

she's "insuring" you soil yourself in front of this one.

0:16:500:16:53

Amy's called her film...

0:16:530:16:55

..Waiting.

0:16:570:16:58

-It's my arm... You get your own armrest.

-You get two.

0:19:280:19:32

SHE GASPS

0:19:400:19:42

-The jump-scares are good, right?

-Yeah, that was really good.

0:20:360:20:40

-I got a little bit of a...

-It had, like, a good atmosphere to it.

-Yeah.

0:20:400:20:44

Ah, the night bus, a magical place of nocturnal activity.

0:20:450:20:49

Let's see what our audience made of...

0:20:490:20:53

Waiting.

0:20:530:20:54

Never gets old, that!

0:20:540:20:57

I thought it was quite a good set-up, actually.

0:20:570:21:00

SHE MOANS

0:21:000:21:01

SHE GASPS

0:21:010:21:02

Oh!

0:21:020:21:03

HE CHUCKLES

0:21:040:21:06

Plenty of nervy moments but nothing as unsettling as what was

0:21:060:21:08

going through Amelia's mind.

0:21:080:21:10

I first thought it was, like,

0:21:100:21:12

"Aw, they're going to get together, this is so cute."

0:21:120:21:14

BOTH: Aww.

0:21:140:21:16

I kind of liked him at the beginning.

0:21:160:21:18

He kind of had that little, sweet smile.

0:21:180:21:20

# I go ahead and smile... #

0:21:200:21:24

So you're attracted to murderers?

0:21:240:21:26

You can't fault the logic but there were no such romantic thoughts

0:21:260:21:30

from Poppy. She could only see the practical side of things.

0:21:300:21:33

Guess it's just a really easy place to target someone - a bus stop.

0:21:350:21:38

If you see someone there on their own and it's late at night,

0:21:380:21:41

there's not many people around,

0:21:410:21:42

that's where you can find your victim.

0:21:420:21:46

Er, maybe you should get a taxi home, Joe.

0:21:460:21:49

So how did our audience score our bus stop stalker scarer?

0:21:530:21:56

No need to wait much longer - all the scores coming up very soon.

0:21:560:22:00

It's time for the final film of the night, people,

0:22:060:22:08

so settle down and get into the dead zone.

0:22:080:22:12

Don't Open is written by and stars 25-year-old Alex Blackwood,

0:22:120:22:16

who works the night shift at his local supermarket, stacking shelves

0:22:160:22:20

and putting cameras in trolleys.

0:22:200:22:22

Bet he can't wait for you to "checkout" his film.

0:22:220:22:25

INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:22:260:22:30

-Cheeky!

-Oh, hello.

-Cheeky.

0:24:030:24:06

-That made me jump.

-You jumped! Yeah! The last one, you jumped!

0:24:060:24:12

Bloody hell, internet dating

0:24:150:24:17

is a bit more interactive these days, isn't it?

0:24:170:24:19

But what did our audience make of Don't Open

0:24:190:24:22

and its devastatingly stupid leading man?

0:24:220:24:25

Frustrating. It's one of those films where the person does everything

0:24:270:24:30

you don't want them to do and that they shouldn't do.

0:24:300:24:33

Don't open.

0:24:330:24:34

If it says "don't open", don't open.

0:24:340:24:36

I would probably think, like, they've sent it to me

0:24:360:24:38

by accident and there's a bit of naughty stuff in it, like...

0:24:380:24:41

So you'd want to open it?

0:24:410:24:42

Yeah, you'd want to have a look and see what they've been up to.

0:24:420:24:45

I would open it. I'm curious, I'm nosy, I'd be like,

0:24:450:24:47

"Ooh, what's this? Am I going to find out secrets?"

0:24:470:24:49

-Well, you'd die and I wouldn't.

-Yeah.

0:24:490:24:52

Ah, sisterly love there. Heart-warming(!)

0:24:520:24:55

I think this one worked really well in terms of photos coming up

0:24:570:25:01

and up and up. It kind of ramped up the tension.

0:25:010:25:03

Yeah, instead of someone ringing you saying, "I'm in the house.

0:25:030:25:06

"Oh, I'm behind you. Oh, I'm nearly there."

0:25:060:25:08

They're pulling everything down from the Cloud and it was just

0:25:080:25:11

a very intelligent, well-planned, well thought-out thriller.

0:25:110:25:15

I was on edge watching it. Why is he opening the folder?

0:25:150:25:18

And he's seeing the pictures of someone stalking him.

0:25:180:25:21

That was good, the build-up.

0:25:210:25:22

I was expecting a jump-scare of some kind.

0:25:220:25:25

I was expecting something bad to happen. But not the way it did.

0:25:250:25:28

SHE GASPS

0:25:280:25:29

SHE LAUGHS

0:25:290:25:32

-That was scary.

-Yeah, that was clever. I enjoyed that.

0:25:320:25:34

It was really good.

0:25:340:25:35

I did still jump at the end even though the arm wasn't that scary,

0:25:370:25:41

because I jump at absolutely everything.

0:25:410:25:44

Shock, horror - man at computer involved in dodgy hand job!

0:25:440:25:48

We're almost at our own happy ending. Time for one final thought.

0:25:480:25:51

If I had to stalk anyone...

0:25:510:25:53

..I would stalk you, the viewer.

0:25:550:25:58

Rude! I know we're on late, Brad, but we've got more than one viewer!

0:26:000:26:04

-Sorry!

-THEY LAUGH

0:26:040:26:06

So with the final votes now in for all of tonight's films,

0:26:060:26:09

it's time to take a look back at them to see how they've scored.

0:26:090:26:13

So, in fifth place with 2.3, it's the lady with the red fishnet dress,

0:26:160:26:21

it's Dinner Date.

0:26:210:26:23

I thought it was a really fun little ride they took us on but...

0:26:230:26:25

it's not scary.

0:26:250:26:27

In fourth place, it will make you think next time a stranger sidles up

0:26:280:26:31

to you at a bus stop, it's Waiting.

0:26:310:26:34

-We could feel the vibes from the stuff.

-There was a scary vibe given.

0:26:360:26:39

Next up in third place it's clinical trials gone wrong, Metamorphosis.

0:26:400:26:45

I thought this film was really different compared to everything

0:26:470:26:50

else we've seen cos it was the point of view, so all you're seeing is

0:26:500:26:53

what that person's seeing.

0:26:530:26:54

And in joint first place with a score of 5.5, it's The Portrait...

0:26:540:26:59

It was creepy and it was kind of frightening.

0:27:010:27:04

I really liked the nods to classic horror cinema - there was

0:27:040:27:06

the Nosferatu nod...

0:27:060:27:08

..and Don't Open.

0:27:080:27:10

Loved the element of it, loved the suspense, loved the build-up.

0:27:100:27:12

Really, really good and really quite interesting.

0:27:120:27:15

So, going into the final week of the competition

0:27:150:27:17

our top three remain unchanged,

0:27:170:27:20

but with more terrifying treats to come, it's all up for grabs.

0:27:200:27:24

Next time, our final fright fests...

0:27:260:27:29

SHE SCREAMS

0:27:290:27:30

-Oh, my God!

-That was a really good job.

0:27:320:27:34

..and Hollywood scaremonger Eduardo Sanchez

0:27:340:27:37

is here to pick the ultimate winner.

0:27:370:27:39

My judging criteria is just how scared does it make me?

0:27:390:27:43

Until then, nighty-night.

0:27:430:27:46

# When you're alone and life is making you lonely

0:27:530:27:57

# You can always go

0:27:570:28:00

# Downtown

0:28:000:28:01

# When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry

0:28:010:28:05

# Seems to help, I know

0:28:050:28:08

# Downtown

0:28:080:28:10

# Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city

0:28:100:28:13

# Linger on the sidewalk... #
