Bad Reception

Heading for a new life in the city, writer Ben Anderson, thinks his luck has changed when he finds a new TV by the side of the road. At a house-warming party in his new apartment, the TV doesn't seem to work, much to the amusement of his friends. Then in the dead of night, the TV begins to work, showing images of a fanatical priest hell-bent on redeeming the souls of "Sinners". Everyone who appears before the TV is to be judged. Commit a sin-and be punished. Nowhere is safe from the TV's wrath.

My take

A haunting supernatural thriller that gets under your skin. Perfect for horror fans who want atmospheric dread with a literary edge—expect creeping tension and psychological unease rather than jump scares.
