Screening as part of our CRUEL BRITANNIA season
Writer-director Matthew Holness is best known for satirising British Gothic in his comedy series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, but humour is jettisoned here for this deeply disturbing and singular psychological horror. A stylish, unique, dark and twisted tale that examines the cyclical nature of abuse, the abused and abusers.
Synopsis:
A disgraced children's puppeteer returns to his childhood home and is forced to confront his wicked stepfather and the secrets that have tortured him his entire life.
This screening is 18+, and will feature subtitles to aid accessibility.
