Made in Sussex: Fright

Part of Made in Sussex Film Festival

Certification: Depot 15

It's 1937, and young Emily is trapped in a nightmare. Her chronic agoraphobia and strange, domineering mother have turned their sprawling gothic mansion into a prison.

On the brink of madness, Emily is haunted by malevolent forces lurking just outside. Her only hope lies in the desperate belief that her missing father might return and rescue her from this living hell.

But as she longs for his return, Emily is tormented by visions of a sinister, gnarled black hand—a spectre that has haunted her since childhood.

Fright is an homage to the unsettling atmosphere of 1950s horror cinema, echoing the terror of The Haunting and the ghostly dread of The Innocents.
