Synopsis

Our capital may be full of reasons to be fearful, but debut director Johnny Kevorkian's superior London-set chiller grounds them in something very specific. Rising British star Harry Treadaway plays Matthew, a teenage boy literally haunted by the disappearance of his young brother from a local playground.

A series of uncanny occurrences convince Matthew that something beyond everyday urban blight lurks at the heart of the mystery. And guess what? He's dead right. Kevorkian creates a convincingly dark mythology to transform familiar big-city surroundings into something worthy of your nightmares.
