Crowdfunding has begun for The Corridor, a horror film based on Elf Lyon’s award-winning one-woman show, Raven.

Raven was loosely inspired by the work of Stephen King (it’s peppered with references to his work). It’s a mesmerising and darkly comedic piece of theatre that blends childhood fear, horror tropes and a graceful physical performance from world-class comedian Elf Lyons.

The Corridor is a project that intends to turn this stage show into a film. The directorr, Jack Carrivick, is no stranger to horror. His previous works include Aisling Bea’s horror short Be Uncertain and the critically acclaimed How To Disappear.

Carrivick told the press, “I want to make this film because horror is evolving, and ghost stories need to evolve with it. Rather than relying on conventional horror tropes, The Corridor taps into a universal fear, the passage of time, and the isolation that can come with it. This story resonates now more than ever as we navigate an era where past traumas and future anxieties constantly shape our present. By crafting a horror film that is both eerie and emotionally charged, I aim to engage audiences beyond the genre’s standard jump scares and offer something more profound, a haunting meditation on loneliness, memory, and perception.”

You can back the project here, and the campaign runs until Sunday, May 11th.
