QUOTES
"I thought this was an excellent piece of work...and I speak as someone who is not a priori a fan of horror/slasher movies!
the characters are interestingly contrasted and the motif provides real tension."
NIGEL GEARING
Screenwriter and playwright
"It's spooky and scary and visual."
KEITH TEMPLE
Writer
"Michaël has an original and creative mind combined with academic rigor and enormous personal discipline. He is an excellent filmmaker whose urge to experiment within his chosen field is driven by a desire to go beyond the normal parameters of current filmmaking."

THE STORY
Six people bound together by a traumatic experience decide to round off a year of group therapy in style. They join each other once more, travelling up to the Scottish Lowlands for a reunion weekend in a 1970s holiday let.
Soon a number of mysterious and horrifying events start to expose the cracks in their relationships, and one by one they discover that trust runs but skin-deep.
A night of closure turns out to be far more final than they could have anticipated.
