Yet as the dinner progresses something feels off. Angela’s parents seem awkward and confused. Her Mother extremely upset over the smallest of things. Whist her Father who seems oblivious, keeps calling her by her sister’s name, who isn’t present at the dinner. A tension fills the room. As the dinner progresses, it becomes apparent that this is the first time Angela has seen both her parents after getting involved in a car accident which killed her younger sister, LAUREN, a few months ago. Details of this traumatic event, gradually creeps through into the conversation - fuelling Angela’s guilt. Angela does her best to evade this topic, as she’s unable to face her grief. However, her parents won’t let go of the subject and the dinner quickly becomes more and more nightmarish. The awkward dinner descends into a surreal horror, as Angela tries to escape the house. But these attempts to outrun her grief are futile, as she collapses through a doorway which transports her back to the day of the accident. She wakes up inside an upturned car, where she’s forced to confront the physical manifestation of her guilt... a demonic version of her dead sister. “The Dinner After“ Credits: Director - Matty Crawford Producer - Thijme Grol Writer - Paul Carey Cinematographer - Wouter Verheul Editor - Mira Thu Composer - Adrian Cermak Sound Designer - Carlos San Juan Juanchi Dubbing Mixer - Guldem Masa Production Sound Mixer- Alex Hanton-Rhys Colourist/ Online Editor - Jongheon Lee Production Managers - Emily Farrell, Charlotte Peachey 1st AD - Etienne Newton Starring Angela - Lucy Doyle Sue - Joanna Brookes David - John Ramm Lauren - Fern Deacon Further Crew Casting Director Ruth O’Dowd 2nd Assistant Director Lydia Stansbury 3rd Assistant Director Ariadne Divaris Floor Runner Alice Rostant Location Manager Rachel Cooksey Covid Supervisor Emma Hanson Production Assistant Emma Hinnells Production Runners Zachary Bartlett Julia Henderson Zara Trott Matthew Woodcock-Fowles Production Designer Nathalie Carraro 1st Assistant Camera Mike Hannan 2nd Assistant Camera Niels Halle Lluc Mestre Gaffer Rob O’Kelly DP’s Assistant and DIT Lukáš Bistřický Sparks Dan Howe, Hal Pilkington, Natalya Walker 1st Assistant Sound Benjamin Schweimler Ricca Costume Supervisor Ursula Toon Hair and Make-Up Artists Sadie Lauder, Tiffany Smith, Maisie Boyd Drivers Millie Farquhar, Nikoleta Slezakova, Elena Storozheva-Golovushkina, Hugh Clegg About ALTER: ALTER is an ever-expanding platform for the most daring storytellers in the world of horror.
