Dylan Fitzmaurice Brady and Elisha Cuthbert in The Cellar
If you read a lot my work here at Eye For Film, you’ll know that I have ongoing concerns about people moving house in horror films. It’s almost never a good idea, and it doesn’t work out well for the characters in Brendan Muldowney’s The Cellar, who also need lessons in not going into dark places on their own, not playing mysterious old gramophone records and not discounting mysterious symbols in their new home as decorative quirks. If this sounds like pure cliché, however, you’ll be surprised by how scary it is. The film didn’t make it into Glasgow Frightfest for nothing. It subsequently enjoyed a cinema run and it’s now opening on Shudder, so Brendan and I connected and I asked him about his aims when it came to making tropes which feel familiar frightening again.

Keira (Elisha Cuthbert) and Brian Woods (Eoin Macken) are masters at their craft. Their marketing firm has gone viral with campaigns that infiltrate the psychology of their audiences in ways few can—at least that’s what we’re supposed to glean from a crucial pitch (depicted with hollowly superficial ad-speak tropes) that will apparently “make or break” the company despite the couple having just moved their family to a giant Irish mansion on a whim. That last part doesn’t really scream “we’re one client away from bankruptcy,” does it? Writer-director Brendan Muldowney hopes we won’t look that closely, though. Their job and this sudden move are only meant to set up the horror to come courtesy an alchemy hotspot that serves as a mysterious gateway to Hell.
Welcome to The Cellar, a film full of thought-provoking ideas that never quite gel into anything more than another example of missed potential.

When a couple who’ve got rich on 21st-century algorithms move into an abandoned mansion, the gods of horror quickly set about payback
American Keira Woods (Elisha Cuthbert) and her Irish husband Brian (Eoin Macken) appear to work in some kind of social network-specific marketing, figuring out how to best push content at target audiences. It’s the sort of new-fangled, 21st-century area of entrepreneurial endeavour people seem to love to hate, perhaps because the work seems so invisible and inchoate yet vastly remunerative. Given the moral calculus of horror films, that means they’re ripe to become the targets of even more insidious forces.
And so it goes, when they buy an abandoned mansion in the Irish exurbs and move in with their two kids – sulky teenager Ellie (Abby Fitz), none too pleased with the move, and amiable younger brother Steven (Dylan Fitzmaurice Brady). Ironically, given their work presumably...

I have a very strong aversion to basements or cellars. Look at any movie or series with a plot point revolving around a room under a house and it won’t end well for the poor soul who ventures down there. Based on my fear of what might be lurking under the house, any movie that features a dark cellar is almost guaranteed to creep me out.
