Dir: Caradog W. James (15, 95 mins)
Welsh director Caradog W. James and producer John Giwa-Amu’s Red and Black films return with another feature after the runaway success of sci-fi thriller, The Machine. This time taking on the horror genre, James turns his visual flair to a story that crisscrosses an urban myth with a family drama. Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck from TV’s Battlestar Galactica) and Lucy Boynton are a mother and daughter trying to reconnect after years of being apart; Sackhoff had placed her daughter into foster care as she wrestled with her drug addiction. Added into this mix is an urban legend in the Candyman vein, of an abandoned house occupied by a child-stealing witch who will wreak vengeance if you knock on her door twice. Cardiffians may recognise some locations amidst the scares in what seems to be another step-up for this Welsh film company. Knock down ginger will never be the same again.
