Bulldog Film Distribution is excited to announce the UK cinema release of the acclaimed British horror film, The Moor, on June 14th, and its availability on Digital HD from July 1st.

SYNOPSIS
Claire was just a child when her best friend was abducted and murdered. Twenty-five years later, the convicted killer has served his sentence and is about to be released. Bill, the dead boy’s father, approaches Claire for help. Who has a plan to keep the killer behind bars. With the help of psychic Eleanor, he takes them deep into the haunted moor which he believes is his son’s final resting place. They find more than just the ghosts of dead children out there. Something else, something dark and evil, stirs beneath their feet.
PRAISE
After its world premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest, Chris Cronin’s first full-length film as a director garnered extensive acclaim. Featured in the prestigious ‘First Blood’ category, the movie received nominations for Best Director and Best Film at the Total Film FrightFest Awards 2023, winning the accolade for Best Scare.
CHRIS CRONIN
Commenting on the film’s release, Director Chris Cronin said:
“My aim with this story was to create an original horror film set in my home county of Yorkshire. Instead of delving into the fictional murders themselves, I focused on the aftermath and how something so terrible affects lives and relationships. What happens when so much grief and guilt are left unresolved? As a genre filmmaker I wanted to explore those important questions through tension and suspense. Genre lets us take a look at very human and painful situations and make them larger than life, forcing us to re-examine them. Thankfully, most of us don’t know what it’s like to experience a tragedy as great as Bill and Claire’s, but through the medium of horror we can elevate how awful it would be, making the audience really feel it.”
