Presented for your viewing pleasure is the trailer for XMOOR, Luke Hyams’ found footage horrorshow that focuses on the legend of the Beast of Exmoor (reportedly a large, vicious cat that roams the moors of Exmoor, England). The film is about to make its premiere at Film4 Frightfest in the UK, and so now is as good a time as any to get acquainted with the project, which does indeed look promising.
Here’s the synopsis:
With their sights set on a £25,000 reward promoted by a local newspaper, American documentary makers Georgia and Matt head to Exmoor in North Devon to film the fabled ‘beast’ supposedly slinking through the remote terrain. Setting up a forest camp with an experienced tracker harbouring his own dark secrets, the trio fix 42 cameras to the trees and rocks, linked back to a computer nerve centre where nothing should go unnoticed as they take turns to keep watch throughout the night. As darkness settles, their plans are thrown into disarray as they stumble over the body of a dead girl in a clearing and they are horrified to realise that she isn’t alone.
XMOOR stars Melia Kreiling, Nick Blood, Mark Bonnar, Simone Kirby and Olivia Popica. We’ll let you know if the thriller finds distribution after its festival premiere.
