Duchess, a small-time crook, tries to enter the treacherous underworld of diamond trafficking and ends up left for dead when a deal goes wrong. Determined to seek retribution, she launches into an unwavering pursuit for vengeance.
“Monday 15th July, London, UK: Catalyst Studios is excited to announce that their gripping gothic horror BROKEN BIRD, which celebrates its World Premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square, London, and opens this year’s Pigeon Shrine FrightFest, will be released in UK cinemas from 30th August 2024.
BROKEN BIRD marks the feature directorial debut of Joanne Mitchell, who for nearly 15 years has honed her craft as a horror storyteller. BROKEN BIRD is a feature film adaptation of her & Tracey Sheals’s 2018 award-winning short SYBIL, screenplay by Dominic Brunt.
This rich, disturbing tale steps into the life and mind of Sybil Chamberlain. Sybil is a quiet, creative soul. Her hobbies are taxidermy and poetry. She works in a funeral parlor with the deceased. She likes dead people. They understand her.
At just ten years old, she experienced trauma in a tragic accident which took away the family she adored. Now, an aching loneliness prevails in a void which she seeks to fill. But poetry and a vivid imagination provide an escape from the harsh realities of a lonely life.
Reality and reason are slipping away from Sybil and her ‘dark desires’ become more and more insatiable. Her fascination with the dead takes a dark and strange twist. And in a horrific climax of gothic proportions, she finds her own kind of happiness and contentment with the people she keeps as company – dead people.

Members Club takes you on a journey from the mundane world of middle-aged male strippers to the down right ludicrous world of talking cheese and pineapple hedgehogs, whisky drinking toads, OnlyFans for pensioners and Peter Andre’s most outrageous role yet – leading to a rip roaring finale that has never been captured on film before.
Kevin Harvey, of Black Water Pictures, says: “When Gav and Marc approached Black Water with this project, we jumped at the chance to bring to market this highly original and frankly hilarious riot of a horror comedy.”
