Directed by Megan Tremethick, Spoiling You is an ASMR psychological horror exploring loneliness, parasocial obsession and the increasingly uneasy relationship between comfort and control. The film follows Drew, a socially isolated insomniac who becomes fixated on online ASMR creator Miss Mutter. When he wins the opportunity to meet her for a private ASMR session, the encounter gradually descends into something far darker.

The film marks Megan’s feature directorial debut and was written by her and Lawrie Brewster. Tremethick also stars as Miss Mutter alongside Stephen Kerr, Laurence R. Harvey, best known for The Human Centipede II and The Human Centipede III, and Peter F. Mahoney. The film is produced by Lawrie Brewster and Sarah Daly through British Horror Studio.

Mr. Whispers, meanwhile, is a late-1990s-inspired supernatural found-footage horror centred on a group of young filmmakers investigating the disturbing history of an abandoned cinema linked to a series of child disappearances. Led by student filmmaker Kathryn Hale, the group set out to document the urban legend of Mr. Whispers, a mysterious porcelain-faced figure said to haunt the building.

Mr. Whispers is directed by Dorian Todd, Oliver Revie, and Seumas MacNeil with Todd and MacNeil also writing the screenplay. Megan stars alongside Dorian Todd, Novarro Ramon, Stephen Corrall and Sam MacMillan. The filmmakers have cited The Blair Witch Project, Noroi: The Curse and Lake Mungo among the film’s influences.
