After David Slade's solid Eclipse, The Twilight Saga begins to climax in Part 1 of Breaking Dawn, Stephenie Meyer's bonkers conclusion to her furry, fanged love triangle. A divisive book even among fans, Bill Condon's adaptation was always bound to draw snide jokes from the blokes in the room - a shame, as Meyer's central premise (a relationship between the living and undead) is a classic trope of the genre and one that, in its best moments, has all the poignancy and tension of Tomas Alfredson's mature Let the Right One In. Filtered through the haze of hormonal teen romance, of course.

The Awakening blew its chilling blend of Jonathan Creek and pure abject terror into UK cinemas last week. It's an intelligent film, rooted in post-World War loss, with a lead character worthy of her own TV series.

Meet Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall), a smart, sceptical and sophisticated paranormal investigator in the 1920s. Busting spirits long before Bill Murray or Scooby Doo came along, Cathcart's old-school methods are a lesson in how to debunk supernatural suspicions using just a handful of shiny steampunk gadgets and some above-average brain cells.

So it's only natural that Nick Murphy's horror (co-starring Dominic West) forms the basis of this handy guide to investigating haunted houses. 

If there's something strange in your neighbourhood... sort it yourself. Here's how to be a ghost-buster:

The Awakening review

In post-World War I England in 1921, an author and paranormal sceptic (Hall) is invited to a countryside boarding school by the history master (West) to investigate rumours of an apparent haunting.

But just when she thinks she has debunked the ghost theory, she has a chilling encounter which makes her question all her rational beliefs.

We all thought the same thing when we saw Pride and Prejudice: Pemberley is terrifying. Well, now we've been proved right, because Nick Murphy's made a horror movie there. And it's even scarier than Mr. Darcy's manners.

Florence Cathcart (Hall) is a woman who believes in science over spirits. She runs around period England disproving paranormal acitivity, using nothing more than a bag of mechanical contraptions and her brain. She's like the new Jonathan Creek. A ghostbuster, 1920s style.

If monsters are hiding in the shadowy parts of your house waiting to eat you, don't go running to Guy Pearce for help. He's flipping useless. That's the main lesson to take away from this Guillermo del Toro-produced horror based on the old 1970s TV movie. That and darkness? Yeah, it's terrifying.

It's hard to know what to expect when you see the words "Screen Yorkshire" before a film. With productions ranging from This Is England and Red Riding to Hush and The Damned United, you could get anything from a talky kitchen sink drama to a full-on freaky horror. Kill List is both. And that's the best - and worst - thing about it.

There's nothing quite like waiting for a horrifically drawn-out death to unfold. The introduction of the key props. The gas cooker. The staple gun. The unfortunately misplaced meat cleaver. The unwitting victim walking into the middle of the death trap. The ironic comment as they slip on the unseen puddle of water...

There's nothing like it. It's why people love the long-running series of Casualty. And Final Destination 5? It's like watching the opening of Casualty on repeat for 90 minutes. And then some.

There are almost as many vampires as zombies in multiplexes these days, but Stake Land is a little different from the rest of the undead hordes. The title may remind you of Zombieland - or you may expect Paul Simon to turn up with a guitar halfway through - but Stake Land's tone couldn't be more different. Director Jim Mickle's all-fangs-and-no-frills approach gives Stake Land an effective low-budget edge.
