Influences for our thriller


The image of the eyes as a central theme on the dvd cover of silence of the lambs, inspired the theme of eyes in our thriller because, as shown here, it appears very starey and is quite creepy and unsettling for the audience.


The look for our stalker (Lucifer) was inspired by the neat and tidy look as shown on the DVD cover for The Godfather.


This effective image on the dvd cover of Seven, was also very inspirational as, you can see the characters' eyes and faces over the top of what is going on in the background. It inspired our last scene where Lucifer is watching Lily, where we see his eyes over the top of the scene of her in her house, to show that he is always watching her.

British film research (independant production companies)

Coffee Films
Started up in 1996, Coffee Films have since completed a wide range of films over the years, experimenting with technique, style, genre and the medium of moving images generally. The films vary from the classic 5 minute black and white short to hour long wildlife documentary, we like to try and be diverse.

“Our early experimental works (1996-2003); entirely unbudgeted, shot on S-VHS and Hi-8 and edited using everyday VCR's, were created with the intention of making films outside of any of the normal structures, inspired by the "guerilla" filmmakers of the mid to late 90's. Though it ultimately proved impossible to complete our aim of shooting an entire feature without a budget these films established the company, educated us all in the filmmaking art, and gave us a very different perspective on the way that films can be put together.
Our new work, from 2004 onwards, shows just how we have chosen to utilise that knowledge and apply it to more traditional independent filmmaking structures; producing award winning and critically acclaimed short films and documentaries from even the tiniest budget, and winning us recognition as one of Europe's best young film production companies.”

Red Films
Red Film strives to create fresh and original films which are both artistic and commercial.
“Red Film is a truly unique, Brighton based collective, dedicated to the production of quality and innovative short and feature films and the promotion of new talent within the industry.
