The campaign
We shot it with our own money. What's left is everything that turns footage into a film.
Where your money goes
Two cuts. Two edits. That was always the deal.
The thing audiences feel most and independent films skimp on most.
Two grades — one warm, one that isn't.
Music written for it, not borrowed.
£30–80 a submission. They add up fast.
A film nobody watches isn't finished either.
Exact figures go live with the campaign. Roughly a fifth of anything raised disappears into Kickstarter's fee, payment processing, reward postage and tax before it reaches the film — we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise.
The rewards
That's the promise, from £15 up. The rest is just how far in you want to be.

Above + a signed postcard in your team's artwork.
Above + your name in the credits of both cuts, and the signed script.

Above + both posters, signed by both. For the fence‑sitters.
Above + the T‑shirt. Pick a team, wear it.
Above + Eileen's back catalogue and the physical signed script.

Above + Exec Producer credit, a set visit, and your name on the poster.
Questions
Really two. Same shoot, same performances, same footage. Then Eileen took it into one room and Jason took it into another. Hers is the comedy horror — chaos, teeth, jokes that shouldn't be funny. His is the dark one. Neither is the “real” version and neither is a compromise. They're two films that happen to share a body.
No. Every backer gets both, from £15 up. But we want you to declare anyway — pick Team Eileen or Team Jason when you back, and we'll keep a running tally while the two of them are insufferable about it.
It's shot in August, with money we've already put in ourselves. This campaign is for what comes after: the edits, the sound, the grade, the score, and the fight to get it in front of people. Post‑production is where independent films quietly die — there's never anything left by the time you reach it.
Then nobody pays anything. Kickstarter is all‑or‑nothing: if we fall short, every pledge is released and no card is ever charged. You risk nothing by backing early — and backing early is the single most useful thing you can do.
We'll give you an honest date once the edit's underway, and if it slips you'll hear why in an update rather than hearing nothing. Post always takes longer than anyone says. We'd rather tell you that now than apologise for it later.
Eileen Daly has spent four decades in British horror — Razor Blade Smile, Cradle of Fear, Redemption Films. Jason Impey has been making films since he was ten and is one of the most prolific names in British indie horror. There's more about both of them on the home page.
