The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford (2026)

Set for a 2026 release, The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford is a psychological horror thriller that explores the descent into madness triggered by the intersection of ancestral obsession and modern media intrusion. The narrative follows Kenneth, a man fixated on his ancestor, Sir Douglas Weatherford, whose life unravels as a fantasy television production begins filming in his town. This new influx of entertainment disregards local traditions, creating a surreal and terrifying atmosphere where reality and fiction blur.

The tension builds as the boundaries between the past and present collapse, leading to a climactic confrontation with both the cast and crew of the show and the spectral weight of his own lineage.
