Alan Moore has narrated a short film by Bristol A/V experimenters CUTS.

Inspired by a poem by sci-fi writer H.P. Lovecraft, Exist is described by the group (who we first discovered on the chilling soundtrack to Alex Garland’s robot thriller Ex Machina) as a “40-minute existential journey into nowhere” exploring night terrors and sleep paralysis.

Moore, whose graphic novels include V For Vendetta and Watchmen, has stepped in to provide narration for CUTS’ debut film, which premieres at The Dark Outside festival in Dumfries, Scotland on September 26-27.
