A polite artist with a basement full of secrets—British indie thriller that punches way above its budget.
Jacob Cleek is a quiet well presented artist, who keeps himself to himself. But Jacob has a secret, and when it starts to break to the surface, he must do what he can to stop his world from crumbling.
Acting
Mark Barrett's unnerving restraint—polite monster energy.
Practical Effects
Glasgow locations feel authentically claustrophobic.
Director
Gary J Hewitt
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely in Glasgow on a micro-budget, with director Gary J Hewitt also handling editing and sound design.
The film's glacial pace and working-class setting deliberately invoke British 'social realist' tradition—think Ken Loach by way of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
