"'Martyrs Lane is a 2021 British horror film written and directed by Ruth Platt, produced by Christine Alderson and Katie Hodgkin and starring Denise Gough, Steven Cree, Anastasia Hille, Hannah Rae and Kiera Thompson.
A 10 years-old girl named Leah (Kiera Thompson) lives in a large vicarage in England and every night she's visited by a mysterious guest who offers her knowledge."
While this is very light on horror, a few jump scares and some creepy moments, it is an excellent ghost story. It's beautifully shot and the two young child actors, especially the lead, are truly great. I also think it's a really good study on grief and how it affects the family unit.
I just loved this film and would encourage everyone to check it out, horror fan or not.
Went in knowing nothing and expecting nothing, especially from Shudder whose horrors are generally pretty lame (IMO), but this was a breath of fresh air in the genre.
Agree totally Warren, great little film builds the atmosphere brilliantly!
Also, it's one of the great things about Shudder, horror that you may never have heard of appears on here and of course, some of it is rubbish... but there's a fair few little gems like this and new content every month.

Glad you enjoyed it. I just put up another batch of horror recommendations. I've had a good run lately
