THE SHADOW OF OAKLANDS - Abandoned Victorian Children’s Home

The abandoned Oaklands children's home in Lowton harbors many secrets and oozes a sense of unease or dread, almost as if the house itself is watching us. With its sordid history of sexual and physical abuse scandals and people under the stairs style passages in the walls, this Victorian Era monstrosity is as architecturally stunning as it is historically important to the local populace.

The house becomes almost Labyrinthian in scale for the uninitiated the deeper you delve, becoming more and more foreboding the more that your nerves creep in, which begs the question why the f@ck did I go in alone lol...

The perfect explore for my kind of filmmaking and one of my favorite self-made horror Urbex flicks to date. Inspired by 70s and 80s Horror and the perfect locale for a Hammer Horror flick it was a pleasure to edit and would not work as effectively as it does without those stunning opening and ending ariel shots by Drone Wolf Photography to elicit that uneasy sense of scale something akin to The Shining.
