About Bricks (2018) — A Gothic Thriller of Revenge and Redemption
In the shadowy corners of a lavish English manor, a tale of greed and vengeance unfolds in *Bricks* (2018), Neville Pierce's razor-sharp Gothic thriller. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's chilling classic *The Cask of Amontillado*, this 10-minute short film pits a cold-hearted stockbroker against a rough-around-the-edges builder, their clash of egos spiraling into something far darker. As wine cellars echo with tension and the air grows thick with unease, Pierce crafts a suspenseful meditation on class, entitlement, and the brittle veneer of civility. Blake Ritson and Jason Flemyng deliver sharply drawn performances, their characters locked in a battle of wits that feels both timeless and unsettlingly modern.

With its moody atmosphere, precise direction, and a plot that twists like a knife, this short horror-thriller lingers long after the credits roll. It's a story about the masks we wear—and the bricks we bury beneath them.
