Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Joseph Simmons shot this on weekends while working retail, using borrowed equipment and local Yorkshire fishermen as extras. The fossil prop was actually a modified ammonite from a museum gift shop.
The film quietly joins a wave of British 'folk horror' sci-fi—think 'The Stone Tape' or 'Under the Skin'—where ancient landscapes swallow modern trauma whole. The 5.7 rating is criminal; this has cult classic written all over it.
