I thought that the concept is pretty cool, and I would love to see more worlds like this. Any suggestions?
I'm astonished at revisiting the opening 12 minutes or so of this film. So many times we revisit an old horror-flame only to be left underwhelmed. This one is different. Shot under obviously challenging conditions that outdo much higher productions, with camerawork that leaves me wondering how it was achieved, and with a masterful ensemble performance that rivals Carpenter's "The Thing," I'm left with nothing less than inexpressable appreciation for all that were involved.
A slow-burn for sure, so don't expect body horror or any sort of gore. But if you appreciate Algernon Blackwood's 'The Willows' or stories of that sort, you've got a great surprise in store. Highly recommended.
A Washington Post reporter interviewed me and several others about the Fessenden re-creation. Here is the article:

I just finished Jugface and the thought occured to me. Although he is rarely, if ever, in the limelight, he is always a pleasure in whatever role he's playing. I love watching a horror movie and being pleasantly surprised by his presence. He is arguably the horror genre's greatest character actor of the era.
In addition to his acting, he is a great contributor behind the scenes, and his podcast Tales From Beyond The Pale is solid, too.
Do we know if they’re writing all the Dark Pictures games? I loved their work on Until Dawn and I’m a huge fan of Fessenden’s films and his Glass Eye Pix productions. His stuff is massively underrated and almost always interesting (Last Winter is my favorite), so I’m happy to see him getting continued work!
