Cloudhouse

Metropolitan gangsterism meets rural isolation and folk horror. Cloudhouse is set in the isolated 'green desert' of rural Wales, where rainwater from the mountains waterlogs the muddy lanes, making running for your life so much harder. A brutal drugs gang commandeer an abandoned farmhouse with a dark history. They transform it into a cannabis grow-house. Inside, pollen chokes the air like smoke. Dangerous wires hang low like skinned snakes. Condensation seeps towards overloaded electrical sockets. Blazing floodlights mimic the sun. The windows are blocked, the doors are locked. A smuggled-over Vietnamese teenager is imprisoned inside this death trap, forced to live a nightmare life of modern slavery. A violent and sadistic gang member pays regular visits. The boy desperately tries to break out before one or the other kills him. Yet even worse things lurk outside. They come at night, scratching at the windows and growling at the doors. They come to destroy anyone that invades or tampers with the Cloudhouse.
