Ring Neck

David misses his ring-necked dove. It was his pet, his solace, and to remember the little creature he loved, he insists on adding its ashes to ink for a memorial tattoo. As the bird’s empty cage looms in his apartment and he goes about his daily work as a music engineer, the tattoo becomes infected. Avoiding the comfort of his girlfriend for weeks, his grief will soon take over his body in the most unusual way

Directed by Vasili Manikas, Ring Neck leans on a strong ensemble — Antoine Olivier Pilon, Sarah Swire, Andrea Pavlovic — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2024.
