The thing I noticed most about The Heiress while watching it, is that it is very, very, British for a variety of reasons that I will go into later… The story followss two sisters who live together, Clare and Anna. Clare has seizures and soon starts to see ghosts or at least what she thinks are ghosts, while her sister just thinks she is going crazy. This being a horror movie, the ghosts are real.
So why is it a very British movie? It’s kinda hard to say if you’re not from Great Britain or have never visited here but the locations, the fashion, the dialogue and the characters and the actors they play are all just so…...

Claire (Candis Nergaard) and Anna (Jayne Wisener) have always been close. Claire is epileptic and sometimes gets injured or becomes confused when she has fits, so Anna looks after her. When their grandmother dies it makes sense for them to move into her small suburban house together. They uncover a few strange things when cleaning out the old woman's stuff, including a book which intrigues Claire, but their relaxed attitude to the move changes when Claire begins to see things. Specifically, she's convinced that there are threatening presences in the house. Naturally, given the risk that fits can cause brain damage, Anna suspects a psychiatric cause, but horror fans will not be so quick to jump to conclusions.
Let's get two things out of the way before going into the rest. Firstly, the lighting set-up here is really bad. It's one of those aspects of filmmaking which is easy to forget.

Ahead of the UK Digital release of The Heiress on March 15th, actress Candis Nergaard talks about the harrowing research for her lead role, causing a stir on Newsnight, her Romany roots and coping with lockdown.
You star in a new British supernatural horror film, The Heiress. Tell us how you got the part and what is was about the script that appealed to you.
I was contacted early on the process by the director Chris Bell who’d had me in mind as an option for Claire. I read an early draft of the script and absolutely loved the part, it’s rare for me to be scared by horror but the script alone conjured such vivid imagery that I was haunted by it, I knew it would work. When The Heiress was ready to go, I was offered the role of Claire, I couldn’t wait to get my teeth into it.

This film begins with Shauna Macdonald as ‘Ruth’ trapped in a bright white cuboid with no means of escape. An unseen tormentor with a booming genderless voice commands ‘Ruth’ to do various things and she must obey. To the audience she is merely Ruth the Admin Girl with no clue as to what’s happening or where she is – just that she’s afraid and just wants to make peace with her captor and go home. But as the story of the White Chamber unfolds and we move back in time to 5 days prior to her capture, we see a completely different story to who ‘Ruth’ might actually be and what work is done in the White Chamber.
With quite minimalistic scenes and a small budget cast and crew, this dystopian sci-fi horror film takes us on a short descent into the chaotic world of “The United Kingdom. Soon.” Written...
