Twisted Tales and Terror Await in Richard Brake’s New Horror ‘Lore’

Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment has revealed that the horror anthology Lore, starring an impressive cast including Richard Brake (Doom, Hannibal Rising), Andrew Lee Potts (The Witcher, Primeval), Bill Fellows (Ted Lasso, Lady Macbeth), and comedian Rufus Hound (Hounded, Queens of Mystery), will be available on digital download from 21st October 2024 – just in time for Halloween.

Lore is a gripping blend of horror and dark comedy, structured as an anthology that delivers plenty of scares and unsettling twists. The film, which had its World Premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest 2023, centres on four thrill-seeking friends who embark on a ghostly camping trip in the Scottish wilderness. Led by Darwin, their odd and enigmatic guide, the group is tasked with sharing the most terrifying tales they can imagine around a campfire. However, as the stories unfold, the friends soon realise that their nightmarish narratives have far more real-world consequences than they could ever have anticipated.

Described by SFX as “truly nailing the blend of black comedy and chills,” Lore taps into the long-standing horror tradition of storytelling around the campfire, injecting it with fresh, disturbing twists. The film is a homage to classic horror, while also offering new scares for modern audiences.

The cast of Lore brings notable gravitas and charm to the screen, with Richard Brake taking on a particularly chilling role. Known for his unnerving performances in films like Hannibal Rising and his unforgettable turn as the Night King in Game of Thrones, Brake adds a sinister edge to the anthology. Meanwhile, Andrew Lee Potts, Bill Fellows, and Rufus Hound round out a cast that’s equal parts dark, quirky, and captivating.

With its digital release set for 21st October, Lore promises to be a must-watch for horror fans seeking something a little different for their Halloween viewing. And lets face it, who doesn’t enjoy a good anthology at this time of year?
