FIRST BLOOD - WORLD PREMIERE - Windswept Yorkshire, 1898. A grieving woman and her son move back to the unoccupied house of her ex-husband, who was recently found dead in mysterious circumstances. However, they soon discover they are not alone inside the icy house in a slow-burn horror, exploring the themes of isolation, otherness and loss. The house is home to a Boggart, an evil solitary supernatural spirit of English folklore, and each haunted character reacts to the malevolent evil.
