Tyler Jones’ Heavy Oceans is a brief yet brutal slice of horror sci-fi. Spanning just one horrific night, it’s fast-paced and gloriously gory; you can almost hear the snap of bones, the slap of tentacles, and the squelch of squished entrails.

Impressive horror set-pieces sit alongside Jamie’s recollections of growing up with Eric. That Eric has always been troubled is clear, but as Heavy Oceans unfolds, it emerges just who - or what - he’s been running from for all these years.

Blending good ol’ fashioned blood and guts with elements of the cosmic, Heavy Oceans is proof positive that the best things often do come in small packages.
