"different to anything I've seen before"

An original character-driven gothic horror-thriller.
At the isolated elite Lockbridge Academy, some secrets are meant to stay buried. Eddie (Ben Probert), a mute caretaker, and Marie (Mackenzie Larsen), a cleaner desperate for a second chance, exist on the fringes of the school’s cold, aristocratic prestige. When a restless spirit begins to manifest, Eddie and Marie are bound together by a ghostly ultimatum: unearth the academy’s blood-soaked history, or become part of it.
The Caretaker explores the themes of overcoming communication boundaries, power dynamics and how childhood trauma shapes adult lives.
Written & Directed By Luke Tedder
"My vision for The Caretaker was to do a slow-burn character driven movie that builds up to a boundary pushing climax that you won't see coming. It was so important to me that we spend a lot of time with Eddie and Marie, to see their bond grow into something beautiful. It's inevitable that these characters you grow to love are going to get put through hell, and I'm warning you now, your heart may get broken".
