HERESY
Hailed as ‘a visual feast… pitch-perfect… a heart-wrenching and gorgeous piece of folk horror’ an infertile woman is ostracised and accused of witchcraft when a dark entity latches onto her, in critically acclaimed feature from Didier Konings
‘A visual feast… pitch-perfect… a heart-wrenching and gorgeous piece of folk horror that gets to the frustrating heart of being seen as nothing more than a vessel for childbirth’ ★★★★ Dread Central
‘Beautifully crafted… Filmed and framed in a classical painting style… makes medieval misery look ravishing’ ★★★★ The People’s Movies
‘One of the most satisfying good-for-her films of the last few years… If you like folklore horror or great cinema in general, you cannot miss this feature for anything’ Cut to the Take
Salvation can be found in the darkest of places in Heresy, Didier Konings’ (Thor: Love and Thunder, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) lauded folk horror fable, that’s steeped in religious terror and repression and has drawn comparisons to Robert Eggers’ The Witch.
Garnering praise galore on its festival run Heresy is now set to make its highly anticipated UK digital debut on 28 September, courtesy of GrimmVision.
In a small Dutch village in the Dark Ages, Frieda (Anneke Sluiters) attempts to be a good wife, contributing to her community, saying her prayers, focusing on becoming a mother and doing what is expected of her.
But after a traumatic encounter with one of the villagers in the woods, a presence saves Frieda’s life, latching itself onto her and throwing her belief system into question. Returning from the woods unscathed, her community becomes suspicious that it was not God who brought her back safely, but a dark force cloaked in fog that lurks beyond the forest.
As the otherworldly creature follows Frieda, strange things start to occur in the village, and Frieda is accused of witchcraft. As she tries to defend herself, her rage only grows and her family and friends turn their backs on her in the name of God.
Heresy is a haunting tale of misogyny, bodily autonomy and belief that transcends time and language, wound into an unmissable, gut-wrenching, ‘stellar psychedelic folk horror’ (Dread Central).

LENORE
When a controversial influencer disappears suddenly, a terminally online fan goes hunting for answers, instead coming face-to-face with the monstrosity of his own sins in acclaimed Australian cyber horror
‘A bruising, lo-fi nightmare… the kind of horror that feels uncomfortably current–because the internet has become the new closet that monsters crawl out of’ 8.5/10 Film Threat
‘Well-written, disquieting, single-location film… a cautionary tale that pleads with the audience, specifically men, to start a conversation about the troubling aspects of internet culture’ Bloody Disgusting
Descend into parasocial madness with Lenore – a twisted cyber gothic tale of obsession, disassociation and male fantasy.
Australian writer-director David Ward explores the darkest corners of the internet in his acclaimed feature debut, putting a 21st century twist on Edgar Allan Poe’s famed poem of the same name. Following its acclaimed run on the festival circuit, Lenore is set to arrive on UK digital 21 September, courtesy of Seven Tales.
The film follows Max Wren (Nicholas Jaquinot – One Punch, Discontent), a troubled and isolated man who attempts to uncover the fate of Lenore (Ruby Duncan – Incoming: Words of War, Glitch) – a highly popular, yet deeply controversial, online personality who has seemingly disappeared. However, before he can complete his magnum opus, Max must confront a domineering antagonist from his past, two nosy police officers who have been tipped off about his antisocial behaviour and most concerning of all: a malevolent spirit that seems to live within his grotesque editing suite.
As he is propelled through the night, Max’s desperation curdles into madness and when the truth behind Lenore’s life and disappearance come to light, Max’s own sins can no longer stay buried as he discovers that some things are better left hidden behind a screen.
Blending atmospheric tension with emotional depth, Lenore is a haunting psychological chiller exploring grief and infatuation, highlighting how our own sense of self can be warped by our obsession with online identities and digital spaces, and just how dangerous these strange, new parasocial relationships can be.

But their peaceful new life is soon interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious-yet-enigmatic stranger, Kyle (Ashley), who initially asks to stay the night, then his story starts to change, and it soon becomes apparent that he isn’t who he says he is.
As the days go by, Kyle becomes more reluctant to leave, with Amanda and Karli growing increasingly concerned about their guest’s bizarre behaviour and their own safety. Things take a twisted turn when he confesses that he is being hunted by a group of supernatural killers, but is he telling the truth or is it all an elaborate scam?
