Star of stage and screen Daniel Monks (Pulse, MQFF 2017, Kaos, National Theatre Live’s The Seagull) embraced the horror genre with maniacal glee thanks to a memorably mean supporting role in queer Instagram-influenced slasher Sissy.

But the spotlight’s squarely on his towering talent in Timothy Despina Marshall’s goosebump-inducingly spooky debut feature. Set during lockdowns, this psychological chiller casts Monks as Tobi, an Aussie actor cast in a US production of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie. But when the death of his estranged father summons him home for the funeral, he’s plagued by a disturbing presence while languishing in hotel quarantine. Is Tobi truly alone, or is something much more sinister lurking within these four walls? Listen out for a cameo from Gold star Susie Porter.
