Martyrs Lane
Directed by Ruth Platt
In this unsettling ghost story, Leah, 10, lives in a large, old house with her family but can’t quite work out why her mother seems so distant. At night she is visited by a mysterious guest, who might be able to give her some answers. With a new challenge every night, Leah is rewarded with bits of knowledge that, when pieced together, threaten to shine a dangerous light on both the truth in her nightmares and of the world she lives in. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
Leah, 10, has terrible nightmares. Her mother seems distant somehow, lost in her thoughts. A small, nightly visitor brings Leah comfort, but soon Leah will realise that her little visitor offers knowledge that might be very, very dangerous.
Cast: Kiera Thompson, Denise Gough, Sienna Sayer, Steven Cree, Hannah Rae

Really good film. Enjoyed it!!!
Love when a horror movie is also about grief, 10/10.
I thought this was phenomenal. Acting was sublime. I loved the plot, the setting, the characters. . not horror per se, but creepy, unsettling, and gets under your skin…
I don't mind a tragic end to a film. And I also don't think a film needs a tragic end to be a tragedy. The climax soured me on this enough to drop a skull from my rating.
Easy to figure out and not really a horror. Interesting idea but pass. I won't be watching it again.
