We’re chuffed to bits to announce that Sean Smith’s short film THE GLOAMING has finished its festival run and is now available online to watch for free!
Ireland, 1849. The Great Famine. As a church bell tolls and the gloaming descends, a father and son working the land are forced to confront an ancient evil.
The Gloaming is the debut short horror film by award-winning, IFTA-nominated filmmakers Souljacker. It was written and directed by Sean Smith, with an original score by Choice Music Prize-winning musician Adrian Crowley.
An atmospheric piece that owes as much to the eerie bogland captured by cinematographer Brian O’Brien (Souljacker) as it does to the chilling story of a father and son stalked by an ancient evil, The Gloaming was shot entirely on location in Co. Cavan, Ireland.
It stars Cavan actors Kevin McGahern (the new presenter of RTÉ’s Republic of Telly), Tommy Sharkey (a leading player on Cavan’s amateur dramatics scene and star of forthcoming feature ‘Revenant’) and Kim McCafferty (Pat McCabe & Kevin Allen’s ‘The Ballad of Honky McSwaine’), with Eoin Heaney as ‘the fiend’.
