Dark Star Pictures Picks up North American Rights for Snapshot, a Unique Victorian Era Found-Footage Horror

Dark Star Pictures has acquired North American rights to Snapshot, a Victorian era found-footage horror film directed by British filmmaker Joseph Archer. Set during the 1888 Jack the Ripper murders, the film follows an inventor tracking an all-female ghost-hunting crew who believe the killer is a monster. It employs a 1:1 aspect ratio and pinhole camera style to reflect the period’s sensationalized news coverage. Starring Tom Stourton, Snapshot will release in theatres spring 2027 before moving to digital platforms. The film has already gained recognition through screenings at Edinburgh and Frightfest, and received a BIFA longlist nomination. The project distinguishes itself within the found-footage genre by using 1888 London and period-appropriate cameras rather than modern equipment.
