Irish Horror Short Scoops Witch Award

He Dies At the End
‘He Dies at The End’, a new short film from Cork Director Damian Mc Carthy, has won the Tabloid Witch Awards Best Dramatic Horror Short.

‘He Dies At The End’ was shot in May 2008. It was written, directed and produced by Damian McCarthy who made the project with fellow St. John’s College Cork students Seamus Hegarty (camera and lighting) and Alan Mehigan (editing & co-producer) with Claire Fitzgerald and Joseph Mc Carthy completing the crew.

The film was shot in one day in Blackrock, Cork, and was edited and sound designed in the following two weeks. ‘He Dies at The End’ has gone on to screen at various festivals in cities that include Cork, Leeds, Milan, Manchester and L.A and won the Chicago Irish Film Festival’s Festival prize along with the Indie Short Film Competitions Best Horror Thriller Award.

Director Damian McCarthy tells IFTN: “When setting out to make the film I wanted it to be the exact opposite to what horror films have become over the last three years: one sequence of torture after another. Every possible way to murder someone has been filmed at this stage. ‘He Dies at the End’ is black and white, has no dialogue and there is not a drop of blood shed – but these are the things that are making it stand out amongst horror films.”

McCarthy’s follow up short film ‘Hatch’ will premiere at the upcoming Cork Film Festival and tells the story of a man who unwittingly lays an egg and waits for whatever is inside to break through the shell.

‘He Dies at the End’ will screen on RTÉ on Friday, October 30th at 7pm.
