Synopsis

Tales of humanity trapped in a surreal city, devouring and digesting those who come to inhabit its womb.

Synopsis

“Dreamlike, elusory, impressionistic. The film is not so much a drama as a sensory experience.” HollywoodInvestegator
“Night Kaleidoscope is without debate one of the most stunning films in Horror cinema. The way this production conveys horror defies artistry and validates this opinion.” Decay Mag
“In a glitched-out dreamlike urban backdrop, an investigator deals with killers that he thinks are not human. An ingenious film, it sets a default of reality-shifting fantasy–which, instead of diminishing, only heightens the intensity of up-close fleshy vampiric rituals.” Sam Vanivray, Amazon US
“There’s fab cinematography and a nice soundtrack. With there being more scene flashing and slow motion than dialogue, Night Kaleidoscope seems to focus on becoming a type of visual art than story share.” Hellnotes
“an authentically surreal, dream-like experience… that is disorienting and nightmarish in the best possible way.” SickFlix
“Night Kaleidoscope is a bizarre, psychedelic, artistic take on vampires” HorrorGeekLife
“There is a really unique and artistic feel to the film that is definitely accentuated by this. Some fantastic lighting and an extremely good synth soundtrack from Alec Cheer helps paint a really atmospheric picture” Midnight Horror Show

Synopsis

A hybrid form of landscape cinema capturing the year of an unnamed hollow way that forms the stream bed for several springs in a remote area of rural mid-Devon, Britain, the film takes time to notice the human and non-human traces of change along the sunken lane.

Synopsis

The shadows of screams climb beyond the hills. It has happened before. But this will be the last time. The last few sense it, withdrawing deep into the forest. They cry out into the black, as the shadows pass away, into the ground.

Synopsis

A macabre experiment across documentary and horror. This film dives head first into the ritual and the darker dimensions of odd, English folk traditions - and improvised narrative in the ceremonial weirdness of bonfire night in Lewes, Sussex.

Synopsis

Based on an unrealised film script written in 1964 for The Homosexual Law Reform Society (a British organisation that campaigned for the decriminalisation of homosexual relations between men), this piece merges drama and documentary into an impressionistic meditation on queer life under the law.

Synopsis

Following its protagonist's fragmented recollections through childhood, youth and old age, The Turtle Terminator conjures up a lifetime of romantic mishaps through unreliable memories, youthful enthusiasm and unbearable heartbreak.

Synopsis

Produced on six continents, and featuring a narrated poem over a plethora of visual effects and animations, with a dark purple color palette to represent the cataclysmic stain of mankind on the environment.

Synopsis

A film about psychosis and surveillance. A composite of fact and fiction, the film draws upon real-life accounts of a schizophrenic disorder: the belief that ones thoughts are being transmitted and heard by others. Set against the proliferation of mobile phone masts in the urban and rural landscape, the film reveals a fragmented inner world of paranoid delusions and acute anxiety, off-set by revelations of mass surveillance and data gathering by government security agencies. Filming locations include a psychiatric video recording studio, an abandoned broadcast television station and a military base used for mass communications monitoring and interception.
Part clinical observation, part psychological horror, the film is driven by a tense and dark electronic score by Lord Mongo, and interweaves the flickering detritus of analogue tape, monitors and studio cameras with layers of sampled archive voices; forming a picture of a psychotic state of mind, entangled in an interconnected world.
