This was my first feature film as writer/director, released back in 2008, a horror inspired by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and 70s British horrors like Frightmare and Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly, about a murderous family who live in a house at the end of a Heathrow Airport runway.
Fellow used bookstore explorer @scsheil.bsky.social will appreciate how awesome it is that I found this at a used shop in Poughkeepsie, NY.
