Throughout 20th-century Ireland, unwed women who fell pregnant were pilloried and sent to Catholic care homes at which their children were born, raised, and buried. At the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, which operated between 1925 and 1961, 800 children are alleged to have died, their bodies later found entombed in the site’s septic tank.
Written and directed by Paddy Murphy, The Perished is bookended by heartbreaking titles that relate the real-world horrors surrounding this small Irish town, and a tender list of dedications to women around the world who have suffered as a result of their choice to have an abortion. Well-meaning though these messages may be, they could be better served by the feature that unfolds between them.
After fleeing present-day Ireland to terminate her pregnancy, college student Sarah (Courtney McKeon) returns, having been ostracised by her family and dumped by her boyfriend. She takes refuge at...

Paddy Murphy (The Three Don’ts) writes and directs The Perished, an Irish supernatural horror flick with a dark and shiver-inducing synopsis which see’s a young woman named Sarah, struggling with the trauma of having an abortion and being broken up with by her boyfriend and shunned by her religious family, who moves into an old house in the country to try to recover. Little does she know that the house is in fact the site of a mass baby grave. The haunting begins as the spirits of the very young unwanted dead seek a mother. Just reading what this film was about before pressing play made me curious, a little worried and slightly uneasy. I mean… this is horror, so that can’t be a bad feeling to have.

[Editors Note: Ahead of the start of his annual Frightfest preview podcast series, which starts right here on Nerdly this Monday, Stuart Wright gives you his thoughts on the festival, which is now in its 20th year]
Here’s a salutary lesson for all frustrated filmmakers out there. In addition, there are implicit words of advice to anyone wanting to start their own film festival.
During Frightest 2017 Paddy Murphy, writer/director of The Perished, was bending Joe Lynch’s ear at the festival’s late night haunt of choice – The Phoenix Bar – about packing filmmaking in. His first feature film – The Three Don’ts hadn’t made the splash he imagined it would, what was the point trying to make more. The director of Mayhem and 2019’s Netflix Original, Point Blank didn’t agree.
Fast forward to now… The Irish filmmaker returns to Frightfest 2019, not just looking for exciting movies to watch, and friends to reconnect with, but with a new film to show you too. The advice he was given spurred him on to make The Perished.
“[The Perished] exists because [Joe Lynch] told someone to not give up,” says Paddy Murphy.
