Press Release - Black Chariot Reveals New Teaser Ahead of UK Theatrical Run

Following the exclusive debut of its new teaser with Dread Central, British Horror Studio is bringing its supernatural noir horror, Black Chariot, to cinemas across the UK this autumn.

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.

At its centre is 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.

Directed by Lawrie Brewster and written by Brewster and Sarah Daly, the film stars Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede II), Megan Tremethick, Novarro Ramon, Dorian Todd, Sam McMillan, Richard Pate and Nick Ford.

Audiences will first be able to see Black Chariot at Lumière Cinema Romford, where it will play from October 30 to November 5. The film then heads to The Northern Light Cinema in Sale, Greater Manchester, on Friday, November 13, before reaching London with a screening at Peckhamplex on Monday, November 16, at 8:30pm. Additional UK dates to follow.

Speaking about bringing the film to theatres, Brewster said: “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.”

The release continues the launch programme for British Horror Studio Picture House, the company’s new theatrical distribution arm. The division is intended to bring British Horror Studio productions, associated-label titles and selected independent films to cinema audiences across the UK, with plans in development to extend the model into North America during 2027.

Alongside Black Chariot, the BHS Picture House slate also includes In the Grip of Terror, Spoiling You and Mr Whispers.
