Director Statement

I was first introduced to the works of Lovecraft as a teenager by director Stuart Gordon's From Beyond (1986), it is still one of my all time favourite horror films.
When I learnt of his sad passing in March 2020 I decided I wanted to make a short film inspired slightly by one of his other classics, Re-animator (1985) as a homage to one of my filmmaking influences.
Due to covid restrictions in the UK, I kept the cast & crew to a bare minimum & decided to go with a VO to minimise any risks associated with actors delivering lines in close proximity. It also seemed more authentic to Lovecraft's style of writing.
