Still Meadows

A slow, uneasy haunting that lingers on guilt and regret, more melancholy than jump-scare, with a quiet dread that builds.

Overview: Washed-up horror novelist Owen Slater has hit rock bottom following his exploitation of a family's tragedy in one of his best-selling novels. But, when paranormal investigator Jack Grady recruits him for his subsequent investigation in the town of Still Meadows (the setting of Owen's book) Owen sees this as the perfect opportunity to redeem himself.
