damned by dawn After receiving a mysterious gift from her dying grandmother, Claire invites her boyfriend over to meet her family at their isolated country house. The family encounter begins well but Clair becomes increasingly disturbed by her grandmother’s continuous allusions to a banshee that is supposed to pay her a visit. That night the family is awoken by terrifying shrieks and Claire’s worst nightmare becomes a reality: the screaming banshee and its army of living dead descend upon them. “I grew up on a steady diet of the Hammer horror films and they were a big influence on the overall look and tone of Damned by Dawn. After the first draft of the script was completed, it soon became apparent that making a period Hammer-esque horror film was beyond our meager resources. However, fog, atmosphere and heavy doses of Irish mythology were all within our budget, so those elements remain.”
