Bulldog Film Distribution presents the acclaimed British horror, The Moor. The film will be released in UK Cinemas from 14th June and on Digital HD from 1st July. The Moor stars Sophia La Porta, David Edward-Robertson, Elizabeth Dormer-Phillips, and the late British actor, Bernard Hill (Lord of The Rings/Titanic)
The plot revolves around Claire, who was a child when her best friend was abducted and murdered. Twenty-five years later, the killer is due to be released after serving his time. Bill, the father of the deceased boy, approaches Claire with a plan to keep the killer behind bars. With the help of psychic Eleanor, they venture into the haunted moor, believed to be the final resting place of Bill’s son. However, they encounter more than just the ghosts of dead children – something dark and evil stirs beneath their feet. Chris Cronin’s feature-length directorial debut received widespread praise after its World Premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest, where it screened in the prestigious ‘First Blood’ strand. The film was nominated for Best Director and Best Film at Total Film’s FrightFest Awards 2023, and it won the award for Best Scare.
Commenting on the film’s release, Director Chris Cronin said; “My aim with this story was to create an original horror film set in my home county of Yorkshire. Instead of delving into the fictional murders themselves, I focused on the aftermath and how something so terrible affects lives and relationships. What happens when so much grief and guilt are left unresolved? As a genre filmmaker I wanted to explore those important questions through tension and suspense. Genre lets us take a look at very human and painful situations and make them larger than life, forcing us to re-examine them. Thankfully, most of us don’t know what it’s like to experience a tragedy as great as Bill and Claire’s, but through the medium of horror we can elevate how awful it would be, making the audience really feel it.”
