Britain produces cop shows with an abandon that defies our present moment’s global supply shortages. Just this week, ITV launches two new procedurals – Ridley and The Suspect – while the BBC brings back its hit surveillance drama, The Capture, for a second season. It is a national addiction on a scale usually reserved for tea consumption, football hooliganism and insincere apologies. Within this obsession, The Capture represents the genre at its classiest and, though it might upset some patriots at our state broadcaster to say so, at its most American.
Holliday Grainger – surely one of the most charismatic actors to remain predominantly constrained to the small screen – returns as Rachel Carey, now promoted to Dci and working within the bubble of Correction. Correction, as The Capture’s first series exposed, is hi-tech audiovisual manipulation software, used for the planting of digital evidence by the authorities. As such, viewers can be fairly confident that,...

Stormhouse
Stars: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters, Grahame Fox, Patrick Flynn | Written by Jason Arnopp | Directed by Dan Turner
It’s 2002, some eight months before the (second) invasion of Iraq, and the military have captured and caged a supernatural entity at Stormhouse, a top secret underground military installation. Looking to make contact with the entity, they bring in “ghost whisperer” Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn). After witnessing the facilities so-called experiments, Sands realises that the military in Stormhouse are a law unto themselves and tries to blow the whistle. When her actions are uncovered by the soldiers running Stormhouse they punish her by throwing her into the cage where the entity is kept, and that’s when everything goes to hell – literally.
Stormhouse was penned by the UK’s very own Jason Arnopp, who previously wrote a couple of Doctor Who audiobooks for the BBC and Big Finish, and it’s easy...

Director: Dan Turner.
Writers: Jason Arnopp.
Cast: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters and Patrick Flynn.
Political agendas are at work in Stormhouse. In an underground bunker, the military has managed to cage a supernatural entity and although the reasons why are never fully revealed, the idea is that they want to tame the savage beast. The generals want to use this entity in its war on terror. This movie takes place many months before the invasion of Iraq.
Otherwise, why else would the armed forces want it? Just what is this covert group of military minds thinking? They recruit a ghost whisperer, Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn), to make a contact with this untamed force. But since she is a civilian, she is not going to be an obedient soldier. While this type of plotting is nothing new, the attempt at mind washing is intriguing, if not terrifying for those looking for secret messages.

Title: Stormhouse Directed by: Dan Turner Starring: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters and Patrick Flynn When you first sit down, waiting to check out a new horror film you hope that it’ll either scare the hell out of you, disgust you, make you feel uncomfortable or all of the above. You would hope “Stormhouse” would fall into one of those categories but it instead falls into the ‘unintentionally funny’ sector. “Stormhouse” centers on a secret underground military base where a group of soldiers have captured a dangerous paranormal entity. When they bring in the overly-bubbly American Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn) to communicate with the entity, everything goes haywire at the complex...

The supernatural feature Stormhouse is set for its U.S. premiere at the Screamfest La Film Festival on Saturday, October 22nd, and in honor of the occasion we spoke with the film's writer Jason Arnopp and director Dan Turner.
Penned by Arnopp and produced by he and Dean Fisher with directorial duties handled by Turner, Stormhouse stars Katie Flynn (daughter of Jane Seymour), Grahame Fox, Patrick Flynn and Grant Masters. The film's synopsis is as follows: Six months before the invasion of Iraq, the British military caught and imprisoned a supernatural entity at a secret base in the English countryside. This film documents the days that followed, culminating in a battle that transcends their worst nightmares.
Filmed last year, director Turner told us of the Stormhouse production, “The whole turnaround from script to screen was very, very fast. We had the idea in May 2010, and by August 2010 we were shooting.

At some point in 2002, months before the invasion of Iraq, Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn) was recruited by the British military for her ability to commune with the dead. Arriving at the Stormhouse (which is not, it turns out, also an anagram of Doctor Who) facility, Sands is introduced to the entity under observation by the military.
Making instant friends with fellow phantom enthusiast Justin Rourke (Patrick Flynn) and soon butting horns with hardened soldier Major Anthony Lester (Grant Masters), Sands dutifully manages to rouse the entity from it’s recent inactivity. With the creature soon on the loose, however, just what exactly is the mysterious game it wishes to play?
Filmed on location at an abandoned military base, and with the actors required to remain onset throughout filming for added authenticity, Stormhouse at least looks the part. The sets – particularly the holding bay itself and the titanic adjoining corridor – are utilized to breathtaking effect,...
