«TO TORMENT; TORTURE; FRIGHTEN TO DEATH»

After a man murders his wealthy father, mysterious things begin to occur in the house where the man must live in order to claim the dead man’s inheritance.

Also known as THE HEREAFTER, QUÅLEN is a semi-remake of one of Michael J Murphy’s earlier long-short films, SECRETS.

An almost-egregiously British film, featuring a few of MJM’s regular actors (Steven Longhurst, Caroline MacDowell, Colin Efford), one of this programmer’s favorite no-budget fist fights, and gloriously flat and unaffected performances across the board, QUÅLEN is a surprisingly effective and moody little horror-thriller.
