The premise
Jamie Morgan is a troubled young man with a facial birthmark, which has left him isolated and fearful, hiding from the world outside. He lives in the East End, notorious for its violent hooded gangs. According to news reports, the gangs are now wearing demon masks. But, one night, after the murder of his mother, Jamie discovers the terrifying truth.
Horror Vault's take
In the grimy back streets of East London, a young man defined by a disfiguring birthmark struggles to belong in a world that has always kept him at arm's length. When brutal gang violence strikes close to home, Jamie Morgan is forced to confront a darkness lurking beneath the city's surface that is far more sinister than street crime. What begins as a gritty urban thriller gradually pulls the audience into a nightmarish realm where desperate deals carry devastating consequences. Philip Ridley's film blurs the line between psychological torment and genuine supernatural threat, leaving viewers questioning what is real.
