These days, one of the great things about a new addition to a franchise is that it invariably results in the previous films receiving the 4K

William Friedkin's

1990 horror flick The Guardian is a long way from

the standard he set with The Exorcist , but there's still a lot of fun to be had from this bonkers tale of an evil nanny who sacrifices infants to a monstrous tree whose – dare we say it – bite is worse than its bark. Available now. Director Stuart Gordon, who gave us Re-Animator and From Beyond , returns to H.P Lovecraft territory with Dagon (2001), the sinister story of a fishing village in thrall to an ancient aquatic evil that demands human sacrifices.

Rich in atmosphere and boasting slimy practical monster effects, this is a must-have for horror fans. Available July 4.
