British creature feature The Shug unleashes trailer

July 18, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

Black Mandala has shared a poster and trailer for the upcoming British folk horror The Shug.

The film follows an alcoholic struggling with the memory of a violent encounter with a terrifying creature in the British countryside decades earlier. But when reports of ‘The Shug’ begin to surface again, John teams up with a journalist and paranormal YouTuber to uncover the truth and put a stop to the notorious monster once and for all.

Directed by Martin J Pickering, the cast includes Nicholas Clarke, Alice Henley, Mae Sutton, Dean Kilby, Jack Armstrong, Jason Hall, and Funso Foluso-Henry. Watch the trailer below…

In the summer of 2024, reports of the dreaded creature known as “The Shug” begin to surface once again across the British countryside.

John, an alcoholic still haunted by a violent encounter with the creature during his teenage years, is forced to confront the nightmare he has spent decades trying to forget. As fear spreads and the sightings intensify, John reluctantly joins forces with journalist Alice Bowmer and paranormal YouTuber “The Hobbo Adventurer.” Together, they begin investigating the growing reports, only to discover that the truth behind the legend may be far darker—and far more personal—than any of them imagined.

Look for The Shug coming soon.
