Bethany
Directed by James Cullen Bressack
Produced by Brilliant Screen Studios, Grit Film Works
A haunted-house psychological horror that uses a childhood home and maternal trauma as the primary source of dread, blending supernatural ambiguity with intimate psychological damage.
Claire and her husband find themselves moving back into Claire's childhood home only to have the abusive and traumatic memories of her mother come back to haunt her. As her husband starts to get more work, Claire finds herself mixed up in a fog of past and present with a mysterious figure haunting her memories. What is this small figure that is trying to reach out to her, and what does it want?
