"IN THE SHADOWS" – A GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR FILM EXPLORES THE DARKNESS WITHIN

London, England – A haunting new psychological horror film, “In the Shadows,” is set to send chills down the spine of audiences. Directed, written, and self-produced by Jack S. Waldron, the film dives deep into the terror of isolation and the fear of the unknown. Filmed entirely within the confines of a private residence, “In the Shadows” offers a chilling glimpse into a young man’s struggle against a malevolent force he cannot see, but can certainly feel.

“In the Shadows” follows Liam Carter, a 17-year-old living alone in his childhood home, who begins to experience inexplicable, eerie events during the late hours of the night. What starts as strange noises and flickering lights soon escalates into an overwhelming force of paranoia and fear. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Liam becomes trapped in a psychological game with a malevolent entity—one that lurks just out of sight, always in the shadows.

With an intense focus on building tension and unease, “In the Shadows” creates a slow-burn experience that relies on atmosphere and psychological suspense rather than traditional jump scares. The minimalist setting of a single home heightens the intimacy and isolation felt by the protagonist, while the film’s eerie sound design and lighting contribute to an oppressive, suspense-filled atmosphere.

Jack S. Waldron, who stars as the sole character in the film, challenges both his acting and directing abilities to create an unsettling portrayal of a person slowly unraveling in the face of fear. “This is a film about psychological horror—the fear that creeps in, not because of what you see, but because of what you can't,” says Jack. “It’s a reflection of how terrifying the unknown can be, and how easy it is to lose yourself when you’re alone with your own mind.”

"In the Shadows" is a self-funded, independent project that was shot entirely in a private residence, utilizing minimal equipment and a DIY approach to filmmaking. The film emphasizes raw emotion and tension, offering a unique and deeply personal experience for horror fans who enjoy atmospheric, slow-building terror.
