When recent divorcee Sheila (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) purchases a beautiful, flattering red dress, little does she know the bloody nightmares that will ensue for all who encounter it. Gripping and twisted, this horror from writer-director Peter Strickland subversively explores desire and proclivity, slowly unfurling into the surreal.

In Fabric garnered numerous festival accolades and received nine nominations at the 2019 British Independent Film Awards, including Ari Wegner for Best Cinematography.
