Tension, paranoia, and long-buried secrets collide in The Mill Killers, a chilling new horror feature from first-time director Aled Owen. Following its successful premiere at FrightFest, the suspense-laden thriller is set to release digitally on 21 April, courtesy of Miracle Media.
Set in the eerie Welsh countryside, The Mill Killers follows four women bound by a dark secret. Years earlier, as teenagers, the group attempted to steal cash from a local mill factory. The heist went tragically wrong, resulting in the accidental death of a worker. Traumatised and sworn to silence, they went their separate ways, until now.
In a bid to recover the money they once left behind, the friends return to the scene of their crime. But what begins as a mission to reclaim their past quickly unravels into a nightmare. The group becomes convinced they are being watched, stalked by a hooded figure who may know everything they tried to forget.
Inspired by the stylistic flair of classic Giallo cinema, The Mill Killers is a tense and visually striking exploration of guilt, fear, and fractured trust. As the women are pushed to their psychological limits, old tensions resurface and hidden truths emerge, blurring the line between reality and paranoia.
The film has earned early praise for its Hitchcockian atmosphere, slow-building suspense, and strong central performances. With its mix of psychological horror and slasher elements, The Mill Killers offers a fresh take on the genre, grounded in a uniquely Welsh setting.
The Mill Killers will be available on digital platforms from 21 April 2025.
