‘Frankenstein’s Army’ Director Richard Raaphorst Returns With Gorey Thriller ‘Children of the Moor,’ Pitching at Cannes’ Frontières Platform (EXCLUSIVE)


'Children of the Moor' is a folk horror film by 'Frankenstein's Army' director Richard Raaphorst, set to pitch at Cannes Frontières Platform.

Described by Raaphorst as “handmade folk horror meets a home renovation show,” the film follows a family seeking a fresh start in a remote countryside farmhouse. Originally conceived as a spinoff of the Raaphorst-produced award-winning short “Gnomes,” “Children of the Moor” evolved after feedback pushed Raaphorst toward a more emotionally resonant narrative. Now reenergized, Raaphorst found a kindred spirit in British producer and screenwriter Adam Park who penned the screenplay based on a story by Mina Hagen.
