In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a fantasy adventure with sequels planned, and a horror thriller that proved a surprise hit.

Krull was set to be followed by at least one sequel, and the expensive production took over much of Pinewood Studios. It'd be a very difficult film to make.

As for Flatliners, the film found itself in a bidding war between producers working for the same studio for a start - and that didn't go down well.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
