This Halloween, the new psychological horror film Barun Rai And The House On The Cliff is set to grip fans across the UK with a chilling tale set in a coastal town in England, premiering on the 29th of October only in cinemas.
Set in a coastal town in 1970’s England, the film tells the story of a young couple who move in to their dream house in a sleepy village, unbeknownst to a supernatural force gripping the area and leading to a mysterious spate of suicides. Perplexed and alarmed by the high rate of unexplained deaths, the pair seek answers from Detective Barun Rai – a specialist investigator famed for unravelling paranormal crimes.
Though fictionalised, the film is in fact inspired by the Beachy Head landmark in East Sussex, close to Eastbourne, UK. The cliff is the highest chalk sea cliff in the UK – 531ft above sea level – attracting thousands of tourists a year. However the cliff also has infamous notoriety for being the site of many tragic deaths, the majority of which are put down to suicide. The UK media have frequently reported on the unusual spate of deaths by the cliffs, including ten in one fortnight back in 2018.
Certain reports have even suggested that paranormal forces may be to blame for the high death rate at the cliffs. In 2017, Eastbourne Herald reported that a German tourist had spotted a shadow resembling a monk-like figure – echoing the legendary black monk ghost said to lure walkers to their deaths. Folklore story suggests that a malevolent monk stalks the cliff, urging people to follow him over the edge.
Speaking ahead of the cinema release, Sam Bhattacharjee said: “We are so excited to see the reaction to this movie and have such high expectations for audiences who are looking to enjoy a particularly dark and chilling psychological horror this Halloween.”
“We have a talented cast on screen and an equally talented team behind the production. We’re looking forward to seeing Barun Rai contact the other world on the big screen.”
Barun Rai and the House on the Cliff is the latest film by Producer-Director Sam Bhattacharjee. The film casts a talented line-up including Sid Makkar (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), Nyra Banerjee (Excuse Me Maadam), Priyanshu Chaterjee (Love will find a way) and talented British actors Tony Richardson, George Dawson, Emma Galliano and more.
