A perfectionist scoring assistant on a horror film rush job becomes convinced she is being haunted by a spirit from the movie she’s working on. This is an incredibly fun horror concept that functions on multiple levels, showing us an aspect of film post-production most people are not aware of while delivering a terrifying experience. The lead performance is terrific and the sound and music design intentionally draws attention to itself, enhancing the story. OST creatively mixes mythological elements with real events in a frightening story about proving oneself in the face of the supernatural.

This disconcerting film from the director of Bait and Enys Men feels like a message from another era: two men sign on to a Cornish fishing trawler, but when they return to port they are welcomed into the community 30 years before they left...
Camp
