Endeavour’s fifth series has already touched upon a number of major political debates, with racism and immigration proving to be a major theme in its account of the volatile events of 1968. This week’s episode sees that topic revisited in disturbingly topical style. A debate on the repatriation of settled immigrants attracts a large audience to its rhetorical battle between Fascist sympathiser, Lady Bayswater (Caroline Goodall) and anti-racism activist, Marcus X (Marcus Griffiths). The daughter of the former leader of the British Union of Fascists is attacked outside by student protestor Kit Hutchens (Greg Austin), who’s soon hauled in for his actions.

You’ve probably read our exclusive Unhallowed Ground review by now, but if you haven’t here’s the skinny: Unhallowed Ground is a brand new British horror film written by Paul Rachid, who also appears in the film, directed by Russell England (Holby City, Paranormal Witness) and starring Morgane Polanski, Poppy Drayton, Rachel Petladwala, Thomas Law, Marcus Griffiths, Will Thorp and Ameet Chana.
Six late teen/early twenties from North London single-sex private schools spend a night patrolling the eerie grounds of the historic Dhoultham School as part of an initiative with the British Army to provide rich kids with basic military training. As each hour passes and the teenagers complete their mundane tasks, they witness a series of increasingly disturbing occurrences: slamming doors, self-governing lights and ghostly apparitions.
As they spend more and more time together, personal conflicts are magnified and the School’s history erupts onto the surface of proceedings.

The United Kingdom title Unhallowed Ground has a trailer. The clip shows several students initiated in the Dhoultham School. Here, Satanists once resided on the grounds, over 350 years ago. The film stars Ameet Chana, Poppy Drayton and Marcus Griffiths. Unhallowed Ground will release in the Spring of 2015. To develop the story further, in the 17th Century, the plague ravaged England. Students of the Dhoultham School turned to witchcraft and sorcery to try and protect themselves from near certain death. Their Satanic worship caused even more anguish. And now, the worshippers look for more souls to consume. Unhallowed Ground is an indie horror feature. Developed by Aviary Films, this title shows promise in setting and story.
