Stars: Damien Lipp, Stephanie Mauro, Tristen Barr, Sophie Wright, Tilly Legge, Lliam Murphy, Janet Watson Kruse, Peter Flaherty | Written and Directed by Dale Trott
Beckoning the Butcher follows the story of Chris (Lipp), an online vlogger who finds ghost summoning rituals and films himself doing them. Becoming more and more desperate for ideas, he turns to his brother for help and is given a ritual for beckoning the butcher. Along with his girlfriend Tara (Mauro), his best friend Brent (Barr) and two friends Nicole (Wright) and Lorraine (Legge), they take a trip up to an old house Brent knew was free in the outback to perform the ritual, which required them each to sign their name on a piece of paper and add their blood, which Tara refuses to add. The ritual seems to be a dud and they almost give up when Brent hears some strange sounds…
This film genuinely freaked me out.

Jerry Mackay (Martin Delaney) leads his team of professional ghost hunters into a haunted village hall on a supposedly routine investigation for a tutorial for the Institute. With him are Anna (Lucy Cudden), a psychic to detect and protect the group from psychic attacks, Ian (Alexander Perkins), the tech of the group in charge of streaming the events back to the Institute and monitoring atmospheric changes, and Mark (Simon Merrells) as a cameraman with a dark past here to record the events. However, the group soon find out that the hall is more haunted that they thought, and Mark’s hidden past soon comes back to haunt him.
The phrase ‘cookie cutter’ is the first thing that came to mind when I started to watch Judas Ghost. This is a very basic story,...

Stepping out of the haunted village hall for a break from a dance with the supernatural, Simon Merrells took the time to rendezvous with HeyUGuys to discuss his foray into horror with Judas Ghost. Probably most recognised for his role on TV’s Spartacus: War of the Damned in which he played the villainous Crassus with brutal pomp, Merrells is a regular face on both the big and the small screen.
During the course of our brief conversation he shared with us how he discovered his love of performance, and storytelling, as well as his early memories of horror’s most famous monsters and authors. Whilst reflecting on filmmaking as a musical journey, along with the fortunes of the modern short film he invited us inside the village hall to discuss his one location supernatural horror.
Why a career in acting? Was there that one inspirational moment?
