Dark Touch
Niamh is the lone survivor of a mysterious massacre in which the furniture and objects in her family’s isolated house took on a monstrous life of their own. The police ignore her wild stories, and the neighbours and social worker who take her into their care try to introduce her to a new life. But Niamh is unable to leave her violent past behind her, endangering everyone who crosses her path.
Why it matters
A chilling blend of supernatural folk horror and psychological trauma that lingers like a slow-burning curse.
- Irish horror that taps into Celtic mythic dread without leaning on clichés or jump scares.
- Young lead performance carries the weight of grief and uncanny menace with unsettling subtlety.
- Practical effects bring the haunted house’s malevolent furniture to grotesque, tangible life.
- For fans of atmospheric dread where the real terror is as much about what’s inside the mind as what lurks in the shadows.
