Whispers

a thriller written and directed by Ian Hornby

(A world premiere)

Linda is wheelchair-bound. She also cannot conceive, and she feels total guilt about not being able to provide husband Sean with an heir. Accidentally breaking an antique photograph one day, she unleashes the ghost of Belle, a resident of the house in the 19th Century, who haunts the nursery they'd made before Linda discovered she was barren, and making sure Linda has less desire than ever to go into that haunted room. It transpires that her best friend Gwyneth is pregnant, by Sean. As Linda becomes more and more possessed by the spirit of Belle, she exacts revenge on Sean, killing him with the power of her mind and Belle's mind.
