Lord of Tears is an independent horror film directed by Lawrie Brewster that will be hitting the festival circuit later this year. Their goal was to create a movie that had more of a classic feel, similar to The Wicker Man and The Haunting, and we thought readers might be interested in learning more. If you'd like an early look at the movie, we have a brand new trailer:
"Baldurrock House has a dark reputation. Built on the site of a pagan shrine, the crumbling mansion in the Scottish Highlands holds many disturbing secrets.
When troubled teacher James Findlay begins having visions of a nightmarish owl man, he returns to Baldurrock, his ancestral home, in search of answers. There, he meets Evie Turner, a beautiful young American woman who helps him to unravel the mysteries of the house and the forgotten years he spent there as a child.
What they discover is much more terrifying than he could ever have imagined and ultimately, the awful truth threatens to destroy them both... The owl man lives."
Lord of Tears was directed by Lawrie Brewster, written by Sarah Daly, and stars David Schofield, Lexy Hulme, Euan Douglas, and Jamie Gordon. Learn more about the movie and their release plans at: www.lordoftears.com
