MORGAWR

About This Movie

Morgawr is this intriguing entry in the realm of folk horror, driven by Brett Harvey’s personal journey with Parkinson’s. The use of iPhone's Action mode gives it a raw, almost intimate feel, as if the viewer is peering into Harvey's own battle against the tremors while bringing this elusive creature to life. The atmosphere is haunting, steeped in the rich tapestry of Cornish folklore, and the pacing meanders like the sea—sometimes languid, sometimes tumultuous. The practical effects capture the essence of the legendary Morgawr without veering into the overly polished territory, making it feel grounded and genuine. It’s a labor of love, layered with themes of struggle, resilience, and the quest for artistic expression amidst personal adversity.

Morgawr remains somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with few known copies circulating among enthusiasts. Its unconventional filming method and directorial approach give it a unique flair, making it a talking point among collectors. The folklore aspect coupled with Harvey's personal narrative adds layers that many collectors find compelling, though its scarcity means that tracking down a copy might take some effort.
