Equal parts Cronenbergian body horror and J-horror ghost story, Lenore explores the parasocial sickness lurking at the heart of online culture and herald a new voice in Australian genre cinema. Shot in a raw, dizzying array of formats (Alexa Mini, iPhone, DV, Hi-8), David Ward’s debut feature is a distinctly Australian Gothic cyber-horror that feels ripped from the darkest corners of the internet. In the squalid basement of an empty suburban home, unemployed filmmaker Max Wren spends his days and nights obsessively cataloguing the work of controversial online performer, Lenore, piecing together a warped tribute in the wake of her sudden disappearance. But, as the night progresses, Max must contend with unwanted visitors from his past, two suspicious police officers, and a malevolent presence that seems to inhabit his grotesque editing suite. As desperation curdles into madness, the truth about Lenore’s life and disappearance surfaces, and Max’s own buried sins refuse to stay hidden. This lonely, broken man unravels during his long, dark night of the soul. Super-fandom. Disassociation. The internet. It doesn’t get much darker than this.
