Fog on the Barrow-Downs

2021, 60 minutes

Fog on the Barrow-Downs is a short film created by Patrick Robinson, and inspired by the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien.

Tolkien's mysterious, haunted barrow-downs appear in the Fellowship of the Ring and they are explored further in the appendices. We learn a little of the history of the barrow-downs, and how it was once a great city of Arnor, but was attacked by the Witch-King of Angmar and came to be a haunted and dangerous place. This film is set against Tolkien's mythology but is an original story. We will follow a company of adventurers as they venture into the barrow-downs, in an attempt to rob the ancient tombs of their treasures. However, they will face many dangers and difficulties and become swept up in the ancient war between the forces of good and evil.
