A modern ghost story shot in Canterbury, written by Canterbury born, Australian based director, Samuel van Grinsven.
In Went Up The Hill, Jack - played by Stranger Things Dacre Montgomery - travels to remote New Zealand for the funeral of his estranged mother. There he meets her widow, Jill.
Over the course of several unsettling nights, both are possessed by Elizabeth's ghost, who uses their bodies to communicate with the other from beyond the grave.
Went Up The Hill premiered at the NZIFF on Thursday and is released in cinemas on October 8th.
