“Black Spot” – a new short thriller from Luther Bhogal-Jones – IN 3D!
This
February the Sussex based
film maker Luther Bhogal-Jones invites you to 6 minutes of mayhem,
delirium and violence in the short roadside thriller “Black Spot.”
Paul
is stranded on a lonely country road when his car fails to start. He
walks through a melancholic landscape of missing person posters and
floral tributes to roadside deaths, before chancing upon another car,
but one which ironically is also broken down. Not only will this car
provide Paul with salvation and suffering, but force him to face his own
recent past actions and a provide him with a potential chance to redeem
himself…
Shot
on a miniscule budget, with a £28 3D camcorder a little larger than a
Blackberry, Black Spot is another short, sharp shocking ride following
the success of “Creak”, Bhogal-Jones’ previous horror short from 2012.
Black
Spot was shot in one day in June at the bottom of the South Downs
against an increasingly temperamental short lived camera battery life
whilst also rallying against constant stop/ start rain showers.
Additional shooting was done several months later at a flat in Brighton
for the pivotal flashback sequence.
“I’ve
always had a love of 3D films even though they’re tarnished with being
gimmicky” explains writer/ director Bhogal-Jones “The red/ cyan 3d
imagery is such an iconic image from cinema’s history - as well as
related so closely with the world of horror and sci-fi - and I’ve always
wanted to make a film with that classic look.”
With
a relentless soundtrack from Brighton composer Mikolaj Holowko, Black
Spot is a 6 minute aural and visual assault with an extra
dimension which is sure to stand out from the horror short film crowd.

3
versions of Black Spot are available to view – a 3D version requiring
the classic red/ cyan 3D glasses, a stereoscopic 3D version for viewing
on 3D tvs and a standard
2D version for those who cannot view the 3D – though Luther recommends a
3D version, as that was the main reason for making the film.
