Dark Night

Synopsis

An abandoned house and a group of friends. A party. But why has the house been abandoned? What happened there?

A clever psychological thriller that unfolds a frightening story through the eyes of each character. The script twists and turns and nothing is as it first seems.

The group are on their way to the long abandoned Morgan family house; once infamous with their cruel unsolved murders, now renowned amongst teenagers for being a great social venue! The party is great fun; drinks, drugs and sex - it's all good - until something which should never have been unearthed is discovered. Who killed the Morgans? Was it the father? A psychopathic killer? A monstrous beast lurking in the woods? Or is there something else at work which no-one dares think about?

Thrills and chills galore in this stylish shlock horror. Shot on a shoestring budget and with echoes of The Evil Dead series and others from the genre, this is a true blood and guts experience!

The group of teenagers get more than they bargained for; pitting their wits against monsters, the undead and each other. This is a British B-movie with bite, definitely not for the faint of heart nor the weak of stomach!

Will you survive the dark night?

The Scarlet Tunic The Scarlet Tunic

Director: Stuart St Paul

Year: 1998

In nineteenth century rural England, a German hussar serving with King George III's personal cavalry, Matthaus Singer, falls madly in love with Frances Groves, the only daughter of a West Country solicitor. Based on the short story 'The Melancholy Hussar' by Thomas Hardy

A smartly dressed woman and man sit side by side in a waiting  room, sharing a quiet smile. Marriage Test

Director: Sara Nourizadeh

Year: 2026

Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
