Trailer/Info for creepy British horror THE MOOR

The Moor was another film that featured in a recent Moviehooker list so we are more than happy to share the press release and official trailer for the new creepy British horror film

May 2024, London, UK: Bulldog Film Distribution is delighted to confirm that the acclaimed British horror, The Moor will be heading to UK Cinemas from 14th June and on Digital HD from 1st July. 

The Moor stars Sophia La Porta, David Edward-Robertson, Elizabeth Dormer-Phillips as well as the late British acting legend, Bernard Hill.

Claire was just a child when her best friend was abducted and murdered. Twenty-five years later, the killer has served his time and is due to be released. Claire is approached by Bill, the dead boy’s father, who has a plan to keep the killer behind bars. With the help of psychic Eleanor, he takes them deep into the haunted moor which he believes is his son’s final resting place. They find more than just the ghosts of dead children out there – something else, something dark and evil, stirs beneath their feet.

Chris Cronin’s feature-length directorial debut was widely praised following its World Premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest, screening in the prestigious ‘First Blood’ strand. In Total Film’s FrightFest Awards 2023, the film was nominated for Best Director, Best Film and Won 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.”

The Moor will be in UK Cinemas from 14th June and on Digital HD from 1st July Booking now: Fri 14 Jun – THE MOOR + Q&A in partnership with Dead Northern & Independent Horror Society’s A Midsummer Night’s Scream @ City Screen Picturehouse, York – Get TicketsWeds 19 Jun – THE MOOR + Q&A in partnership with Mayhem Film Festival @ Broadway, Nottingham – Get TicketsTues 2 July – THE MOOR in partnership with Dundead @ DCA, Dundee – Get Tickets
