When watching a low-budget genre movie it’s always a little disheartening to discover that the film’s execution doesn’t quite live up to its ambitions. Sadly, such was the case with The Scopia Effect, a film that possesses an intriguing premise with which it does disappointingly little. Alarm bells should have rung in the opening titles when the name of the movie is helpfully defined for the audience, despite the phrase never actually coming up in any other part.
Basia is a Polish emigre working in England, a trait used both to highlight her nomadic nature (important to the plot) and to still be able to cast an attractive blonde woman in the lead (important to the producers). She’s having some anxiety problems brought on by repressed memories,...

A teaser trailer has emerged for a supernatural thriller called Scopia. The film takes the chilling elements of a good scary movie and funnels it into a psychological warfare after a hypnotic session goes disturbingly awry. Writer-Director Christopher Butler has thus ambitiously taken the typical, enclosed horror genre to cinematic realms not seen before in British feature films.
Scopia was Produced by Flynn Films, and was Written and Directed by Chris Butler, his first feature film. Christopher has a background in advertising and his debut sees his haunting, shocking style brought to the big screen with a story to match. "Scopia" stars Joanna Ignaczewska and Louis Labovitch and they're joined by Jessica Jay, Akira Koieyama, Mathew Roberts, Genevieve Sibayan, Callum Holbrook and others.
Synopsis:
