A stolen painting, a safehouse by the sea and a plan which begins to unravel after an unexpected encounter bring a unique flavour to Samuel Clemens’ The Waterhouse, which opened Halloween Frightfest 2023. It’s one of those films which one has to be careful not to spoil by saying too much, but nevertheless, when Samuel and I met just before the festival, he had plenty to tell me about it. I had already explained to him that I have a copy of the painting in question, a work by John William Waterhouse, in my study, so he began by explaining – in a suitably meandering way – his own connection to it.
“I suppose the catalyst for this film was that were going to do another film, which is what we're going to be doing next. We were going to do a western first. We were quite close.
