Glasgow-based company Shining Example Films and award-winning writer/director Andy Stewart (Dysmorphia, Split, Ink) are have announced that pre-production has begun on their final short horror film, Redacted. And I’m fucking excited for it. Besides being a Huge fan of Stewart’s three previous shorts, his latest short is set star Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede 2 & 3, The Editor) and Tristan Risk (American Mary, The Editor, The ABC’s of Death) – yes, two of the biggest names in horror right now!
While on an afternoon hike, an unimposing Man stumbles upon a humanoid creature with alluring female qualities. While fearful and in apparent need of assistance, The Creature oozes sexuality and danger but it is unclear where the danger really lies… Redacted is an exploration of the darker side of human nature when confronted with something strange and otherworldly.

It’s only been two years since writer-turned-director Andy Stewart unleashed his first short film Dysmorphia on an unsuspecting public. The first in his proposed “Reflections” trilogy, that film was an impressive body-horror short that dealt with loss and mental illness. He followed that up with Split earlier this year; again another superb short film that dealt with one man’s [extreme] reaction to loss – only for his second film Stewart upped the ante in terms of gory special effects thanks to the folks at Grant Mason FX. Well Stewart, his producing partners – Chris Goldie and Gordon Holliday – and Grant Mason FX, return for the third and final film in the trilogy, Ink.
Somewhat of a departure for Stewart’s trilogy, Ink does not feature a central character dealing with loss.

Andy Stewart, director of the two fantastic short films Dysmorphia and Split, has just completed shooting on the third film in his body horror trilogy. Entitled Ink, the movie is the story of a man who takes the path of least resistance (and cost) in an attempt to turn his body into a work of art…
Check out the teaser trailer below and expect the full short in late Summer 2014.
Produced by Gordie Holliday & Chris Goldie for Shining Example Films, alongside Austin Hayden for 21st Century Renaissance Man, “Ink” stars Sammy Hayman as “The Man” and features cinematography by BAFTA winner Alan McLaughlin and FX by “Split” make-up designer Grant Mason (Sleepy Hollow, Nightbreed, Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Bride of Chucky). “Ink” promises to be the perfect accompaniment to Andy’s previous films. Promotional materials will be designed by the guys at Custom Inc. Tattoo Studio in Glasgow.

It was two years ago when I first saw blogger-turned-filmmaker Any Stewart’s short Dysmorphia, his superb take on the body-horror genre pioneered by the likes of David Cronenberg. Since then we’ve had the likes of Éric Falardeau’s Thanatomorphose – a feature length look at the physical breakdown of the human body - and now comes Stewart’s Split.
I was a huge fan of Dysmorphia, so I was eager to see what Andy Stewart would bring to the screen for the second “act” of his three film body-horror trilogy. Even more so considering this was set to be more of a grotesque effects-filled story (perhaps Stewart’s homage to Cronenberg’s The Fly remake?)
Guess what? I wasn’t disappointed.
Now I can’t go further without first mentioning Thanatomorphose. That film totally blew me away – director...
