On Halloween night 1998, Northern Ireland TV veteran Gerry Burns teams up with popular new children’s presenter Michelle Kelly to investigate poltergeist activity in a reputedly haunted house in Belfast. Light entertainment turns to horror when an unseen terror reveals itself.
Combining found footage horror, folklore and a nostalgia for regional television, Haunted Ulster Live recreates a familiar world of 90’s light entertainment which, much like Belfast itself during the Northern Ireland Troubles, is haunted by something unseen and sinister. Written and directed by Dominic O’Neill, the film premiered at FrightFest 2023 with an Irish premiere at Belfast Film Festival and earned acclaim at leading international genre film festivals including Fantaspoa and Panic Fest.
