All This Time-Inside A Vampire’s Manor At The Romford Horror Festival.

By Holly Larkin – Guest Writer and Film and Threatre Reviewer

Confined in an inscrutable time loop inside a Vampire’s manor, Grace must discover the hidden mysteries surrounding the house and her past to get home to her young baby.

Directed by Rob Worsey, the film’s visual and storytelling are impeccable. Despite being filmed in two separate locations the film’s cinematography flowed seamlessly, keeping audiences engrossed in the film’s story without the switching between locations becoming too noticeable or distracting. In addition to this, the character of Elias is constructed perfectly; not only through Daniel Be Bourg’s acting, but also through the visual’s of costuming and setting. The dark manor creates a feeling of curiosity and fear, using the suspense to create the trope of the ‘mysterious vampire’, creating an eerie ambience around Elias, for both Grace and the audience. Elias’ role of the ‘illusive vampire’ contains a strong masculine energy, having a strong presence even when off-screen, his threat is felt.

Emily Rose Holt’s performance of Grace is admirable. The audience feels every emotion Grace experiences – the confusion, fear, desperation; nothing that Grace is feeling is left to the imagination. Her desperation to get back to her child is palpable, giving audiences clear indication of her strong maternal instincts that create a positive impression of the main heroine.

‘’Groundhog day meets Dracula’’ is the perfect short synopsis for this film and was in no way disappointing, being nominated for 8 awards at the Romford Horror festival, including best Actress, Director and Cinematography to name a few. During the awards ceremony, All this time won awards for Best Feature film and Best Leading Actress for Emily Rose Holt’s performance, which were well deserved. All this time was a perfect addition to Romford’s film festival and will no doubt do well at other festival’s.

Director Rob Worsey and Producer Kate Worsey commented to the Havering Daily how ‘’Film festivals are some of the best moments of the process; getting to hear what strangers think about your work can be amazingly reassuring. Especially this time with the film; hearing what clues viewers noticed, and what theories they were building along the way is hugely entertaining, but the best part is hearing how affected some were by Grace’s story; it makes the countless hours of work worth it.’’
All this time will also screen at the Northampton film festival later this month.
