Here’s a modern-day horror story for Halloween
This Place Is A Sh*thole ‘distils the agony of living in overpriced yet filthy shared flats’ by plunging viewers into ‘a claustrophobic nightmare - where the chaos and grime of communal living spiral into something both horrifying and hilariously relatable’.
The darkly comic horror short is directed by Will Wightman and stars Paddy Young, Jack Shep, Robin Berry and Lani Hernandex-David.
