Clawhammer Pictures Presents

BEHOLD THE CLAW

• Clawhammer Pictures are dedicated to making original UK horror feature films that will be seen across multiple streaming services, in festivals and in physical media. 

• Behold The Claw is about five strangers who meet online and come together to take a pilgrimage to Loch Ness, unaware that one of their numbers is an imposter. They go in search of a monster...and don't have to look too far to find one. 

• Behold The Claw is a blood soaked, darkly comic horror movie, mixing equal parts Sightseers, Friday The 13th, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Scream. 

• Writer/Director Stephen Edward Reid has been making short films as well as music and corporate videos for over a decade now. In addition to filmmaking, he is a novelist with a debut novel, Tender Things Shall Die out in August 2023.

Risks & Challenges

• Money only gets you so far. Creativity solves problems. Creativity will allow us to use what we have to overcome the many obstacles ahead of us. Nothing is certain, especially in the world of feature films and even the best of intentions can sometimes go awry.
