Guns, gangsters and ghosts in trailer for British horror-comedy Polterheist

November 8, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Coinciding with its early DVD release, we’ve got a poster and trailer for Polterheist, a genre-busting British horror-gangster-comedy from director David Gilbank, which stars Jamie Cymbal, Sid Akbar Ali, Jo Mousely and Pushpinder Chani.

In Polterheist, two hapless small time criminals kidnap a psychic medium, forcing her to contact the gangster they murdered to find his buried cash. Racing against the clock with fear of reprisal from a psychotic gang boss, they accidentally unleash a demon hell bent on revenge.

Blending horror, dark comedy and gangsters, genre-busting festival hit Polterheist gets an early DVD release for Halloween before the general release in 2019.
