“The darkest place is within...”

Horror

London, 1974. As Britain prepares for electrical blackouts to sweep across the country, trainee nurse Val arrives for her first day at the crumbling East London Royal Infirmary. With most of the patients and staff evacuated to another hospital, Val is forced to work the night shift, finding herself in a dark, near empty building. Within these walls lies a deadly secret, forcing Val to face both her own traumatic past and deepest fears.

VIBE

A chillingly atmospheric and dread-soaked descent into isolation. This period horror feels suffocatingly claustrophobic, preying on deep-seated fears. It's a slow-burn unraveling of psychological terror that lingers long after the credits roll.
