A sound designer is sent to a scary island for a B-horror film.
Lazy sound designer Jim Baitte is sent to a remote island to record sound for the final scene of the latest film by tyrannical B-horror film director P.W. Griffin. Once on the island, Jim becomes entangled in a sinister local tale about a ghost ship and its cursed crew.
The Peril at Pincer Point is a delightful homage to British folk horror. Shot in grainy, black-and-white 16mm, in a 4:3 ratio, the film refers to classics like The Wicker Man as well as the films of Roger Corman, the King of B-movies. Pincer Point is even dedicated to Corman twice, in a shameless celebration of independent, low-budget filmmaking. And with a budget of £4500,- (which might be a joke in line with the film’s satirical tone), this is the real deal. A true festival favourite.
