If you’re a fan of psychological horror films, keep your eyes open for a new short in that sub-genre which is heading our way soon via film festivals… it’s titled Burn and is the highly anticipated debut film collaboration between Slaughtered Bird Films and Dragon Egg Media that Gareth first told us about back in the spring of 2016.
Directed by Judson Vaughan (creator of Pedro and the multi award-winning Soul Breaker) and written by Chris Barnes (editor of popular UK horror review site The Slaughtered Bird), Burn is both patient and unrelenting in its tension building, stunningly captured by Joaquim Barreto’s cinematography, and brings classic psychological horror to the forefront of independent British cinema once again.
Burn was created on a tight budget, funded completely independently by Chris and Judson. Starring Max Cavenham and Emma Kelly, it was filmed over three days in Hertfordshire and north London, UK.
Look for our review soon!
Synopsis:
After several local disappearances prompt a nationwide manhunt, Peter and Louise are two (of many) people gripped by media-induced fear. When their son, Charlie, is born, the pair must find a way of raising him amid continuing public hysteria and incomprehensible personal tragedy.
