The Monkey's Paw
directed by Graham Sharpe

Imagine a dark and stormy night, an old Victorian Villa somewhere near London, and a visit by an old soldier on some gullible people.

Mix in some secret tales of the far-east and a dried up monkey’s paw carrying an ancient curse.
Take care, wishing is a dangerous business. This ‘Monkey’s Paw’ might just give and take. Or perhaps it’s just some strange coincidence? It’s for you to decide.
Is that some ‘Monkey’s Paw’ knocking on the door??

Featuring: Graham Sharpe, Nerida Watson, Ray Egan, Richard Milner, and David Seman.
