Horror films are designed to terrify, but sometimes what happens behind the scenes can be so much scarier. For decades, some of the most frightening flicks to hit the big screen have been labelled ‘cursed’ by fans due to terrible things that happened during filming – and sometimes before it had even begun. Most recently, Glenn Close’s The Deliverance was hit by several strange instances one after the other that had fans scratching their heads and wondering if the set was haunted. The cast and crew of the Netflix hit reportedly held ‘prayer circles’ after director Lee Daniels’ dog died,…
A reader is not happy about the idea of a next gen Xbox or the assumption that Sony will want to counter it with the PlayStation 6.

The Friday letters page wants to see the return of Driver and Colony Wars, as one reader recommends Microsoft Rewards.

Yesterday, rumours emerged that Ubisoft is planning a Rayman remake, in part with some of the team that worked on Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown, and today they’ve confirmed they’re in the ‘early stage’ of…
