Eerie ‘Black Chariot’ Trailer Rides In with Black and White Supernatural Noir Tale [Exclusive]

There’s just something about horror filmed in black and white. The stark images. That rich, gothic horror atmosphere…I can’t get enough of it. If you feel the same, then you’ll want to get a look at the teaser for British Horror Studio’s Black Chariot, which Dread Central is honored to exclusively debut this morning.

Filmed in stark black and white, Black Chariot draws on the visual grammar of post-war noir and supernatural cinema, using shadow, isolation and unease to tell a story shaped by guilt, loss and the threat of something inexplicable.

The film revolves around a botched criminal scheme involving three young men and a coveted red case, whose contents pull them deeper into danger. As they move through the woods, the line between pursuit and haunting begins to blur, with a vintage black Wolseley emerging as an increasingly ominous presence in the night.

I’m digging this trailer. It has a classic horror sensibility that vaguely reminds me of Curse of the Demon (1957) with that supernatural noir presentation.

Lawrie Brewster directed and co-wrote the script with Sarah Daly.

Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede II), Megan Tremethick, Novarro Ramon, Dorian Todd, Sam McMillan, Richard Pate and Nick Ford star.

Said Brewster, “Bringing Black Chariot to cinemas is really about championing the kind of independent horror we believe in. The film was conceived very deliberately around atmosphere, image and tone, and those things inevitably take on a different weight when experienced collectively on a cinema screen. We want to continue creating space for distinctive genre work that benefits from that kind of presentation.”
