## Resource

Don't. Look. Back. Emma Cownley is joined by The Brook director Paul Stainthorpe, writer Chris Watt and star Helen Chong to discuss the horror mystery film which has its world premiere at FrightFest in London on Saturday 29th August! Moving to the village of his mother’s youth, art student Jacob discovers his grandad’s old video camera shows one hour into the past. In Elmbrook, a place steeped in strange folklore and whispered legends, the community believe their village is protected by a puma that watches over the “good.” But when one of the good locals mysteriously vanishes, Jacob and his friends, armed with the video camera, uncover clues that pull them deeper into Elmbrook’s bizarre secrets. Soon the search for answers spirals into a dangerous mystery as they uncover a vengeful serial killer with a connection to the past. https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/ https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/the-brook.html www.horrorhangout.co.uk Podcast - https://fanlink.tv/horrorhangout Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/horrorhangout Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/horrorhangoutpodcast X - https://x.com/horror_hangout_ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/horrorhangoutpodcast Threads - https://www.threads.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29623213/ Emma - https://www.instagram.com/ejcownley/ Paul - https://www.instagram.com/stainythorpe/ Chris - https://www.instagram.com/thechriswatt/ Helen - https://www.instagram.com/helench0ng_/ https://www.instagram.com/thebrookmovie/ Audio credit - Taj Easton http://tajeaston.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thehorrorhangout .
