Filmed February 2005 near Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire. Released April 2005.

The food the old woman eats is made up of a foul mixture of water and flour.

This is currently our only film to use a dolly (stabilised panning shot). However the dolly used was a little cheaper than your ordinary Hollywood dolly. It consisted of a small wooden box with wheels with a tripod on it and a thin chipboard track.

All the music is completely original and was performed whilst the film was showing to ensure the accurate timing of the music.

Synopsis - Living alone in her ancient house, the old woman leaves no window without shutters or curtains. It has been a very long time since someone else has come. She does not like company and she does not like the visitor. It lurks in the shadows, it takes her things. Now she must face it, whoever or whatever it is.
