HorrorFacts.com is excited to share an exclusive first look at Emerald Cottage, the newest horror film from Jason M.J. Brown. With production now in full swing, the filmmaker has given us some intriguing details about what’s to come, with promises of a chilling experience that will stay with you long after it ends. With a budget of $100,000, a big increase for this independent director, it looks like this film will mix a sense of eerie tension with unsettling surprises that fans of horror won’t want to pass up.
In a personal note to HorrorFacts, Brown shared his enthusiasm: “I have started production on my next film, Emerald Cottage, and this time the budget is 100k! Could you share an exclusive first look?”
Set against the haunting backdrop of post-World War II England, Emerald Cottage tells the story of Nancy (played by Charlotte Wallis), an undertaker’s assistant who faces a grim task: preparing the body of a mysteriously deceased girl for her wake. Her journey leads her to a remote cottage, where loneliness becomes her only companion—along with the body she is caring for. As she immerses herself in this dark work, Nancy begins to uncover disturbing truths about the girl’s death, truths that might blur the line between the living and the dead.
Brown, who also wrote the script, has a talent for weaving tense stories. His previous films have shown his ability to combine psychological horror with intense scares, and Emerald Cottage seems to follow that path. With a cast that includes Kitty Sudbery, Charlotte Wallis, and Peter Watson. Viewers can expect strong performances that will ground this chilling story. The rural English setting, filled with post-war gloom, nicely complements a tale that focuses on both atmosphere and the hidden secrets within the cottage.
What makes this project even more thrilling is its budget. At $100,000, Emerald Cottage represents a significant step forward for Brown, giving him the means to improve the film’s production quality. Imagine flickering candlelight casting eerie shadows on the rough wood, floorboards creaking in empty rooms, and a creeping sense of being watched by something just out of view. For a filmmaker known for his creative independence, this financial support could lead to a polished yet raw experience that fans of both classic and modern horror can appreciate.
While we don’t know all the plot details yet (Brown knows how to keep us in suspense), the basic idea is enough to grab any horror lover’s interest. An undertaker’s assistant stuck in a cottage with a dead body? A mysterious death wrapped in secrets? It’s sure to lead to sleepless nights and a lot of speculation. Will Nancy’s discoveries hint at something supernatural, or will the truth be far more human—and maybe even scarier? We’ll need to wait to find out, but the setup already brings to mind the slow-building tension of films like The Others or The Innocents, with a bit of gothic grit for good measure.
HorrorFacts.com will keep you updated on Emerald Cottage as production continues, and we’re excited to bring you more news—maybe even some footage or behind-the-scenes glimpses if Brown is feeling generous. For now, mark your calendars and steel yourselves: Jason M.J. Brown is back, ready to deliver a tale of death, isolation, and unsettling truths to a theater near you.
