Seer

2008, 90 minutes

"Seven survivors: no memory, no destination, no escape. Welcome to the Dark Place."

Dubbed "Waiting for Godot at Halloween", director Eric Courtney's psychological monster movie plays out in a remote farmhouse in the Irish countryside, where a group of strangers face up to their own inner demons -- and some all-too-real ones as well. Working from a script by Robbie Robinson, Courtney's film is an intense and ambitious chamber piece -- one he dubs "a new horror movie for a new horror audience".
