Question Need help identifying some creepy films

Hi there, I'm brand new to this forum. I had a question, I wondered if anyone could help me.

I've been trying to find out the name of a series of TV episodes, or Short Films that came from in the UK in the late 90s. This is all going to be very vague, but I thought it was worth a shot to see if anyone remembers them.
I'll try and describe the three I remember.


The first was about this mentally disabled teen, who lives alone with his father. The boy has a supernatural power, by where he can say the word 'Bring' and it whatever he is thinking about or looking at appears in front of him. The catch is, if he 'brings' anything living, it arrives dead. One quote from the film was 'one day Toby (I think that was his name) saw a puppy on television. He brought it, and it was dead when it arrived'.
Because of this, no pictures or TV are allowed in the house. I believe there is a female caseworker who visits the house.


(SPOILERS START)
I believe the whole film climaxes with Toby seeing a picture of his dead mother, 'bringing her' and then the dead woman appears in the living room. I think Toby is going to be taken away by social services, so his father shows him some pretty pictures of sunsets. Toby Brings it and the house explodes. It was a pretty creepy film, and quite original.

(SPOILERS END)


The Next film was about a little girl who draws a picture. When she falls asleep she wakes up in her picture, but it's always a bleak and twisted perversion of her drawing. She adds a man to the drawing but he scares her, so the next day she scribbles over his eyes to blind him. The next night she goes to sleep, the man is blind and in agony and tries to attack her. I forget the rest of it.


The last film I remember was of some men stuck on a boat on the Norfolk Broads (A river network in Eastern England). I think the plot is, they're stuck on the boat, day after day. There a part where they come across a young boy and he gives them directions, but they go nowhere. Eventually they come across an old man, who gives the same directions, and has the same mannerisms. I forget the rest of this one too.


Well, I hope I gave enough details so that maybe it will jog somebodies memory. I sure would appreciate if someone remembers these films, and lets me know. :)

TY

Deff not twilight zone or outer limits or anything like that, this was from the UK.


Yeh the second one was Paper house. I think when I saw the three as a kid, they must have been running a Brit horror season or something.

Thanks Ferox, at least I found one of them :)

Wink

I just looked up the gate on imdb.
Plot: 'Three young children accidentally release a horde of nasty, pint-sized demons from a hole in a suburban backyard'


...now I'm guessing 'The Gate' is a joke right?


p.s is the gate the movie where there's all these little monsters running about, and in one scene a guy is taking a leak, and one of them comes out of the toilet and bites his stuff off?

Cause whatever movie that was scarred me for life.
