PREPARE YOURSELF FOR...THE UNKINDENESS OF RAVENS

In 2013, Lawrie Brewster introduced us to the infamous Owl Man in Lord of Tears, about a school teacher plagued by nightmares, who returns to his childhood home to face the darkness of his past. Now, Brewster and writer Sarah Daly are bringing us The Unkindness of Ravens. Once again bringing us back to the Scottish Highlands, but this time our hero, a homeless vet with PTSD is facing off against an army of raven men! The filmmakers promise to take us beyond the brink of sanity and into a hell dimension. It sounds like a folk horror mash up of Hellraiser and Jacob's Ladder, and what could be more exciting than that?
The filmmakers have launched a Kickstarter campaign to help finish the soundtrack, manufacture DVDs and launch a marketing/distribution campaign. You can contribute HERE. Please go check out the video on the Kickstarter page, there are some cool behind the scenes footage and the perks are pretty badass too!
I'm absolutely in love with the design of the Raven Warriors. They're seriously some of the coolest horror villains since the Cenobites. And Jamie Scott Gordon looks really intense as the films protagonist, Andrew.

LORD OF TEARS- Must See Trailer

From director Lawrie Brewster comes this new British horror/fantasy film LORD OF TEARS. Check out this stunning and tense trailer...
Lord of Tears is a startling, psychological, supernatural thriller set against the ominous backdrop of a cursed highland estate. The film features the voice of David Schofield (Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean) Lexy Hulme and Euan Douglas.
Lord of Tears tells the story of James Findlay, a school teacher plagued by recurring nightmares of a mysterious and unsettling entity.  Suspecting that his visions are linked to a dark incident in his past, James returns to his childhood home, a notorious mansion in the Scottish Highlands, where he uncovers the disturbing truth behind his dreams, and must fight to survive the brutal consequences of his curiosity.

I'm very excited to see this! Did you see the frigging Owl Man??? Lord of Tears looks like a wonderful take on classic British spook tales (something I'm quite fond of) with solid scares and an anxiety ridden feel. 
Mr Brewster tells me the film is complete and they are now taking pre-orders through a Kickstarter campaign which will help finance an exhibition tour. Details are HERE. The team has some very nice give aways for contributors too. Also check out their Tumblr HERE
Get on board fiends, let's keep indie horror strong!
