'The Weepers' is a 30-minute short ļ¬lm that playfully explores Scotland's relationship with the Gothic horror genre. Drawing on a variety of cultural reference points, including Scottish myth, haunted house movies and Doctor Johnsonās trip to the Hebrides, the ļ¬lm is a surreal exploration of Highland culture post-Clearances, where the number of sheep has gradually exceeded that of the human population.
