A serial killer’s past shatters a young woman’s present in this exceptionally taut and atmospheric thriller.
Stacy Willingham creates a world of layered secrets in which no one can be trusted.
A FLICKER IN THE DARK compels like the best Hitchcock mystery.
Highly recommended.

I can honestly say, I have never looked forward to a film as much as I am looking forward to #WickedForGood

Post-lunch cup of tea in Glastonbury Abbey.
I will never tire of this view.
It’s a dangerous business, browsing in a secondhand book shop - some books call to you…
This is a beautiful collection 🖤
