The Medusa Box Prologue

A mysterious woman flees for her life and a dark chapter of Dartmoor folklore is written.

The Medusa Box Prologue was shot in an eerie forest on the edge of Dartmoor on the Spring Equinox 2022, with a cast and crew fuelled mainly by cake and fake blood.
It uses in camera effects and the power of suggestion to allow the audience to fill in the gory gaps.

As the title suggests, The Medusa Box Prologue is the opening scene to what will be a feature length film, if all goes to plan, however, the prologue works as a self contained short film in its own right and will give audiences a grizzly taster of things to come.

Think Blood On Satans Claw meets Midsommar.
