Màthair

When two siblings, AJ and Susan smith go fly-tipping in the countryside, Mother Nature fights back. AJ, an ignorant and rude solicitor convinces his little sister Susan to take him to dump one of his clients rubbish in the countryside to avoid a up-lift fee. The deeper into the woods he ventures, the more nature surrounds him. Once he's dumped the rubbish he is confronted by Màthair, the matriarch and protector of nature. In her anger at the mess he's left of her home she exacts revenge on AJ and subsequently Susan when she accidentally litters trying to save AJ.

Directed by Gary J Hewitt, Màthair leans on a strong ensemble — Megan Channell, Nicola Docherty, Ryan Kane — 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.
