Lock Up (2011)
Directed by: Bloody Cuts
The first of 13 Bloody Cuts makes its entry wound with the release of Lock Up – the debut from an anthology of chilling shorts spilt from the vein of horror fanaticism.
When you’re leaving late from work, like you’ve done many times before; spare a thought for the complacency of your safety and stay out of the dark – evil lives there. Lock Up is a chilling tale of fear and suspense and a potent reminder that something of nightmares could be lurking in the shadows around any corner.
The Bloody Cuts films will be released online at www.bloodycuts.co.uk, and will run until their terrifying cycle is complete.
Whilst their film making ideology is grass roots horror on a low budget, the Bloody Cuts team are looking for accomplices in the form of funders,
sponsors or supporters. If you fancy associating your product, project or website with the Bloody Cuts anthology then get in contact with them today to
discuss ideas and opportunities: ben@bloodycuts.co.uk
Each film will run at 2-3 minutes long and will be drenched in the tropes of classic horror, so if you’re a true horror fan this will be right down your
Elm Street.
Frights. Cameras. Action. Watch this space as the dread unfolds
Bat from HorrorCultFilms say:
Lock Up is a truly inspiring effort created by a group of hardworking, talented people. Britain is known for it’s remarkable horror through legendary studio, Hammer, and it’s good to see that Britain still plays host to dedicated and passionate filmmakers. What I love about Bloody Cuts is that they take original ideas and mix them with the scares we love. The cinematography in Lock Up is so fluid and each shot is convincing. Each scene and cut is just perfect to create the tense atmosphere. Added with the use of light, or lack of in some cases, produces the tension and uneasiness that works so well in horror films.
Most short films suffer from amateur acting, but not in the case of Lock Up. The lead is believable and plays his part well, the viewer taking an instant liking to him. The story prays on the fear of noises in the dark, something many a viewer will sympathise with.
Bloody Cuts prove that horror is still alive and well, so if you’re looking for a good scare or a quick fright, head on over to www.bloodycuts.co.uk for a slice of the action!
Thanks Bat, a really glowing review that everyone in the team is over the moon with.
Great stuff!! Really liked this, the timing was just perfect. The big finish came along and ever so slightly caught me off guard with its timing which was brilliant. The film looked very well produced, and there is a clear love of horror running throughout the theme. Can’t wait for the next part!
