Psychological horror-thriller Blockhead unveils first-look trailer ahead of FrightFest world premiere

August 20, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its world premiere this weekend at FrightFest, Blue Finch Films has shared a trailer for the psychological horror-thriller Blockhead, which marks the narrative feature debut of Matt Harlock, the director behind the award-winning documentary American: The Bill Hicks Story.

Starring Danny Horn (Doctor Who), Joe Sims (Broadchurch) and Michele Moran (The Witcher), the film follows a failing novelist with writer’s block who finds his life spiralling into chaos as he begins to take inspiration from a seemingly imagined muse. Check out the trailer below…

A failing novelist desperate for inspiration thinks his muse appears to him in the form of a drunk, psychotic decorator. As his novel takes shape, his life spirals and erupts into a violent chaos, but his next piece could just possibly be genius.

Blockhead premieres at FrightFest on Friday, August 23rd.
