A new horror film described as ‘haunting’ and filled with “suspense” and “unexpected twists” is currently being shot in a well-known seaside village in Cornwall. The Cull, produced by Red 3 Films Ltd, is said to explore themes of redemption and the unshakeable hold of the past.

The film, set against the backdrop of Mawgan Porth, follows the turbulent journey of Niall, a man attempting to start afresh after serving time in prison. In The Cull, Niall inherits a secluded cabin in the woods from a will upon his release from prison.

Keen to put his troubled past behind him and make a fresh start, he hopes the peaceful surroundings will offer the tranquillity he so desperately needs. However, as the days pass, haunting memories and unresolved issues begin to resurface, pulling him back into the dark world he tried to leave behind

The cast is led by Craig Russel, who has been described as bringing “depth to the complex character of Niall”. Supporting roles are played by Ollie MacFarlane, Tim Cartwright, Richard Hainsowrth, Rory Wilton, Kate Edney, Sally Geake and Sarah White.
