Gail Smith’s Aldbrough gives us a grainy, 8mm window into the past with archive footage of a town long gone.
It’s eventless and yet hypnotic, enticing you with the gentle narration, the simplicity and its pleasantly picturesque, by-the-sea location. It feels like somewhat of a tour of a time forgotten, with eerie overtones throughout – it almost feels like a film that characters would unearth from a loft or basement in a horror movie.
Only in the final moments does the foreboding feeling finally reveal itself.
Only in the final moments does the foreboding feeling finally reveal itself, adding an informative warning and engaging layer. It is in fact a plea for more awareness around erosian, climate change and even indiscriminate damage caused by nearby RAF bases.
You’re lured into a false sense of security with pleasant imagery and a none threatening tour guide and this works to the film’s strength, making the overall message more impactful.
