If must be quite a culture shock meeting an estranged parent for the first time, but not much compares to what waits Dylan in The Heritage.
When the father’s new wife says he has mobility issues, she’s not far wrong, as the photo above can detail.
The first thing to say about The Heritage is, these are Screamin’ Mad George level gooey practical effects; truly stunning.
Andrew Rutter’s short is off-kilter from the start, with an odd tone that will catch viewers off guard, and it feels designed to gross out.
Many will also recognise Bruce Jones from Coronation Street and his turns in the Dark Ditties series, despite being under heavy prosthetics. Jones revels in his role, designed to gross viewers out, being crude and all round disgusting.
The Heritage shows that blood truly is thicker than water.
The Heritage screens as part of Grimmfest 2023.
