EXCLUSIVE: Occult Thriller The Ones You Didn’t Burn, which screened at the Chattanooga Film Festival, and FrightFest, has landed a series of international deals.

Horror films come in so many varied flavors — from the deadly serious to the silly and comedic, from monster movies to human terrors — and 2022 saw fantastic examples of every kind hit screens, both big and small.

The film, which received its US premiere at Chattanooga Film Festival where it won Best Debut Feature, sees Nathan, a recovering drug addict, begin to experience vivid nightmares of a woman rising from the sea.

UK genre specialist Jinga Films has boarded world sales for US filmmaker Elise Finnerty’s debut feature, folk horror The Ones You Didn’t Burn, which is set to receive its UK premiere at horror and fantasy film festival Frightfest (August 25-29).

It probably didn’t take much foresight on her part, but Elise Finnerty’s feature debut embodies a common double-edged sword for the horror genre: It’s “timely.”

Finnerty, also the writer, tells us a haunted story about an act of beautiful revenge while exploring the themes of generational trauma, grief, and sexuality.

The Ones You Didn’t Burn goes on to artfully present the story of a family seemingly cursed by the actions of those who came before them with strong performances and remarkably haunting visuals.

The Ones You Didn’t Burn is an engrossing supernatural slow burn, that is creepy as it is refreshingly poignant in its take on witchcraft.

It is subtle at first; then the machinations of The Ones You Didn’t Burn take over.

I became unfathomably excited in the first twenty seconds.
