Living Dark: The Story of Ted the Caver
Be careful what you dig for
Directed by David Hunt
A claustrophobic horror film that uses a cave descent and family trauma to build dread and paranoia around an unknowable, lurking threat.
Two brothers, reunited for their father's funeral, stumble upon the entrance to a nearby cave. Here, they are slowly forced to confront the true, nightmarish cause of their father's death. Based on the popular Ted the Caver internet legend.
