Lock the doors, draw a circle, and prepare to cross the threshold. This episode, we’re dabbling in the dark arts.

We delve into A Dark Song (2016), Liam Gavin’s atmospheric occult horror that follows a grieving mother willing to endure an extraordinary ordeal to contact her dead son. Blending ritual magic, psychological torment and creeping dread, this is a film that takes its time, where every step towards the supernatural comes at a price.

Joining us as a special guest is Scott Walker, a Glasgow-based sound recordist and designer, as well as co-host of the Sh*t You May Not Have Seen* podcast. We explore how the film’s unsettling soundscape, restrained approach and suffocating atmosphere help build its sense of unease.

We discuss the film’s approach to occult horror, its patient storytelling, and why sometimes what you don’t see or hear is far more terrifying.
