Whilst British horror has always been around, in particular independent horror, in recent years it seems – thanks to the likes of Uncork’d Entertainment, Wild Eye Releasing and ITN Distribution – that the Us market has become more open and more willing to take a chance British horror; and that’s done wonders for the UK horror scene.

Which means that the term “British horror” is becoming less and less of a stigma and, coupled with the rise in demand from streaming services across the globe, we’re seeing more and more British genre fare make it way to the screen.

This film almost has two narratives going on. One is about Robert Brandon (Paul McEwan), a medium who is frustrated with the parlour tricks he has to perform, and the other is about George Morris (Kenneth G. Hodgson), a man who discovers his family dead at the start of the film. He’s convinced that his home is haunted,...
