In today's horror highlights, we have a short film for you to watch, the reveal of a new poster, and details on Frontières' project selections for their Cannes online event:
Watch the Short Film Bill: "Bill tells the story of a grieving widow who employs the dark arts to see her husband once more.
The film is a Diy Self Funded short film inspired by the Ghost our two young sons would talk to in the ceiling called ‘Bill’. We were chilled to the bone and the events inspired this 3 minute film which premiered at the prestigious Encounters Short Film Festival 2019. The film was partially conceived as a challenge to shoot a short film in our own house, with our own props in just 1 day."
The film was written and directed by Dan Gitsham & Sophie Mair. You can watch the film below and learn more about the film making team at: www.
