In the remote village of Calder’s End stands an old windmill, a repository of dark secrets. Nicholas Grimshaw has returned to this haunted place, his childhood home, intent on breaking an ancient family curse. Grimshaw’s journey takes him deep below the decaying mill, where he must confront the very source of the evil that has corrupted his family.
The Mill at Calder’s End is a gothic ghost story in the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and M.R. James, that is told with 30 inch tall bunraku puppets and in-camera special effects. Featuring the voices of Jason Flemyng (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and horror legend Barbara Steele (Black Sunday,The Pit and the Pendulum), this film celebrates the art of puppetry and gothic horror.
