Short film: Black Sugar
Bored teenagers trying a new drug? The name “black sugar” reminded me straight away of “soy sauce” and of John Dies at the End.

What would you go through in order to bring you drowned husband back from the eerie land of the dead? Would you take on a Banshee? Would you consider it? This short film from an Irish team was written and directed by Fred Burdy and features Katie McGrath. It’s won a whole lot of awards. […]
