Great comeback for the Owlman, even more disturbing this time round than in Lord Of Tears and is slowly becoming one of my favourite demons of all time.

A very original old school folk horror movie that stylistically takes you back to the 40's and 50's, shot beautifully in black and white which in my opinion enhances the whole creepy factor. This works so well with the Owlman, always silent, motionless, a twisted creature with two large black eyes that transfixes you to the screen while he penetrates your soul and mind in every scene.

The location bleak and gloomy (in a good way) with a wonderful eerie soundtrack that elevates the film to another level, a great idea to include the CD in the Collector's Edition DVD package.

The actors were all very strong and managed to give the characters their own uniqueness in someway, my personal favourite was Jamie Scott Gordon a different type of disturbing and psychotic portrayal than in the Unkindness of Ravens but as effective if not more.

In true Lawrie Brewster and Sarah Daly style this is another psychological and disturbing offering which this time also pays homage to past classics of the genre. Well done guys!!!

WARNING: This is an original horror tale, there is nothing out there like this. If original is what you want then look no further.

Great stuff from Lawrie and Sarah again in creating a weird and twisted tale that takes you on psychological journey into the human mind after a horrific traumatic event.

Jamie Scott Gordon's performance plus the eerie location and the wonderful soundtrack elevate this film to another level.

Lord Of Tears and The Undkindness Of Ravens take me back to my youth of old British Horror movies which i am an avid fan of. Two different types of Horror, the first creepy and unsettling and the latter based on the character's personal demons and fears. Both equally effective in playing with your mind.

Can't wait for the next project from these guys.

When it comes to modern horror films the British way is the only way. Lord Of Tears has it all, dark, Gothic, creepy and (most importantly) scary. If you are a fan of old British horror films of the 50's, 60's and 70's then you are in for a treat. In an era where horror is prevalently focused on visual effects and therefore more for teenagers (with the odd exception) this will come as a great surprise. I have a son of 13 that loves horror like me, I have no problem letting him watch the mainstream films because they do not focus on the psychological element which is the most important factor in making a film scary. I don't know if he is ready for this one so this means we finally have a REAL horror flick. Ancient Pagan legends and mythologies will always work for me and what can I say about the Owl Man, first of all a figure never seen before that was incredibly chilling and secondly a magnificent portrayal by David Schofield with some really hypnotic lines that will mess with your mind. The film starts at a slow pace (in a good way) and gets more and more disturbing until you are left with an uneasy feeling, exactly what this genre is supposed to do. This film will stay with you for a long time, the last time this happened to me was with the Ben Wheatley's Kill List, this is why Mr. Brewster and Mr. Wheatley are the new Masters of modern horror. I will definitely be looking forward to future releases by Lawrie Brewster and Hexfilms.
