Critically applauded at festivals, it’s now headed for wider release.

Dark Sky Films has announced that it will release the British chiller THE CREEPING March 3 on VOD/digital platforms. The feature debut of writer/director Jamie Hooper, it stars Riann Steele, Jane Lowe, Sophie Thompson, Jonathan Nyati and Taliyah Blair. The synopsis: “Due to a traumatic childhood experience, Anna [Steele] hasn’t returned to her family home for many years. With her ailing grandmother, Lucy [Lowe], suffering with worsening symptoms of dementia, Anna moves home to look after her. Soon after, strange things begin happening. Though benign at first, events soon escalate into a nightmarish fight for life against a malevolent presence. She discovers the ordeal is linked to a dark family secret, a tragic past that’s haunted Anna her whole life…and Lucy’s fading memories could be the key to solving the mystery and surviving the nightmare.”
