A man is plagued by terrible nightmares after taking a job on a remote island while trying to get over the death of his wife in Shepherd. The atmospheric British horror will be available to take home next week on Blu-ray and Digital Download and to celebrate, we have an awesome prize bundle to give away!
But first, in case you missed it, here’s the trailer for Shepherd…
Running from grief after the mysterious death of his wife, Eric Black takes a job as a shepherd. Trapped alone on a majestic weather-beaten island with an ominous secret. One mans sudden, spiralling madness meets a vengeful supernatural force. What starts as the perfect wind-swept escape becomes a race to save his sanity and his life.
Written and directed by Russell Owen, Shepherd stars Tom Hughes (Red Joan, Victoria), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones, The Witch), Gaia Weiss (Vikings, Medici) and Greta Scacchi (The Player)
“It’s a psychological thriller dressed up as a horror,” Owen told us when we spoke about the film last year. “It’s about a man’s psychological madness, but when you try to illustrate what he’s going through, it’s a horror film. So you pick out what he’s doing in this story and you drop it into a Hammer Horror setting…”
