Fizz and Ginger Films Present The Screenings For DAGR Ahead Of Its Digital Release This April Through The Movie Partnership


04 March 2024

Fame seeking YouTubers find themselves in a paranormal nightmare when the advert team they are stealing from awakens a murderous druid from the past.

Dates for the limited cinema run and digital releases have been announced for comedy folk horror ‘Dagr’. 

Starring The A-List’s Ellie Duckles, Downton Abbey’s Matt Barber and Tori Butler Hart of Infinitum: Subject Unknown (alongside Sir Ian McKellen). 

The Matthew Butler-Hart directed horror-comedy Dagr is having a cinema release in the UK  through the Picturehouse and The Light cinemas from 7th February before being released  on digital platforms in North America, Australia and New Zealand from 2nd April through  The Horror Collective. 

It is then set for digital release in the UK and Ireland on the 8th April through The Movie Partnership.  

The found footage folk horror stars Ellie Duckles alongside Riz Moritz as fame seeking  YouTubers. Posing as caterers, they travel to an 18th century house where a Goddard esque advert is being shot, and plan to steal from the production. But they unwittingly  step into a haunted house, plagued by the ghost of a murderous 18th century druid.  

 

 

The cast includes Matt Barber, who starred in the final two seasons of Emmy award winning period drama Downton Abbey, Tori Butler-Hart, Emma King, Graham Butler,  Hattie Chapman and Luca Thompson.  

Dagr is currently being shown in selected cinemas in the UK, with special Q&A screenings with director Matthew Butler-Hart and cast. Click here to see the frequently updated list of screenings.

 

 

'Two young women seeking internet stardom pose as catering staff on a high-end fashion commercial. Unbeknownst to the ad team the women's plan is to film themselves stealing all the expensive merchandise, giving it away to people who need it, and post it on their Youtube channel. However, when they arrive at the location there's no-one there. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to set up hidden cameras and get started on the theft, they discover an iPad which holds footage of the commercial shot so far. But what looks to be a glossy homage to Jean-Luc Goddard, soon turns into a Blair Witch paranormal nightmare.'

Directed by Matthew Butler-Hart who co-wrote and produced with Tori Butler-Hart for Fizz  and Ginger Films, it is executive produced by Game of Thrones star Conleth Hill, Lord of  the Rings star Ian McKellen and theatre producing legend Anthony Pye-Jeary.
