Blind Owl

A psychological horror shaped by isolation, memory, and the self that waits in the dark.

The film

The lighthouse keeps more than the shore.

A solitary lighthouse keeper spirals into madness after encountering a ghostly woman, forcing him to confront buried trauma, his fractured marriage, and a reality that no longer holds.

Filmed on Prince Edward Island, Blind Owl moves between stark coastal beauty and intimate psychological terror. The landscape becomes a witness as memory, desire, and nightmare collapse into one another.
