A camp excursion takes a deadly turn in Lore, a gruesome and acclaimed anthology horror film from directors James Bushe, Patrick Ryder, and Greig Johnson.

Premiering at last year's FrightFest, Lore is now available to stream exclusively on the Icon Film Channel and will be shown in select theaters in the United Kingdom beginning on Friday, September 27. For those unable to access the movie via those two methods, it will be available on home entertainment in October in the UK.

If you're in the US, you can currently rent or purchase the film from digital retailers like Amazon Video and Apple TV.

Starring Richard Brake (Hannibal Rising), Andrew Lee Potts (The Witcher), Bill Fellows (Ted Lasso), and Rufus Hound (Hounded), Lore centers on a group of friends on a fun and fright-filled camping excursion led by their mysterious guide, Darwin (Brake). Around the campfire, Darwin encourages everyone to exchange scary stories, but they're unaware that telling tales about demons and spirits could have dangerous repercussions for them all.

Based on the trailer and early photos, it looks like Lore will feature popular folk horror tropes, menacing stalkers, ghostly hauntings, and more. Some reviewers have compared it to classic Hammer horror films mixed in with a dash of Black Mirror.

Check out the full-length trailer below:

Described as a "love letter to classic horror," Lore intersperses these frightening segments between the gang at the campfire, almost like an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? but way scarier.

Lore is being distributed by Kaleidoscope Entertainment and has a runtime of 87 minutes.

Lore is now available to stream exclusively on the Icon Film Channel, in select UK cinemas from Sept. 27 and later available on VOD from Oct. 21.
