\n Charlie Shaw\u2019s Revenge, written and directed by John Langridge, was filmed in East Sussex and follows a group of workers preparing to reopen a struggling adventure park who quickly find themselves trapped and hunted by a silent killer.\n<\/p>\n
\n The survival horror, produced by Renato Pires and Justin Hayward, puts character and psychological tension at the forefront of its scares, exploring how fear tests relationships and fractures group dynamics.\n<\/p>\n
\n John Langridge, writer and director, said: “We were interested in how fear changes behaviour \u2013 how quickly trust breaks down, how people react when they realise they’re trapped and how survival forces difficult choices.”\n<\/p>\n
\n At the heart of the story is Marion, played by Cerys Knighton, a new manager thrust into a reluctant leadership role as the situation spirals.\n<\/p>\n
\n The killer, Otto the Clown, is portrayed by James Payton in a mostly wordless and physically driven performance.\n<\/p>\n
\n Producer Renato Pires said: “The killer is only part of the threat.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The real tension comes from being trapped with people you don’t fully trust, when every decision has consequences.\n<\/p>\n
\n “That’s where the drama and the fear really live.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The film was shot on location at Knockhatch Adventure Park and the East Sussex School of Circus Arts.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Langridge said: “The environment amplifies what the characters are going through.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It mirrors their isolation and disorientation, but it never overshadows them.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The film lives or dies on the emotional journey of the people trapped inside it.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The cast includes Bill Fellows, Mark Benton, Shahla Ayamah, Amelie Leroy, Billy Cashin, Molly Cattanach, Keri Martin and Aaliyah-Monroe Pires.\n<\/p>\n
\n Described by Mr Pires as a “pressure-cooker survival story,” the film balances external danger with shifting group dynamics and secrets.\n<\/p>\n
\n Charlie Shaw\u2019s Revenge will have an industry screening in London on Friday, February 13, 2026, ahead of a planned release on major streaming platforms.\n<\/p>\n
\n A book adaptation is also in development for 2026.\n<\/p>\n
