HOWL (2013) | Director 

THRILLER | HORROR 

"A schoolteacher unravels the mystery behind the odd relationship between her new pupil and a stranger with a dark secret."

​

The film hopes to regenerate interest in the horror/monster genre through combining metaphorical parallels between a common evil within society (child abusers/paedophilia) and a traditional creature of nightmares. Using this, the film explores both adult and child fears.
