FILM: Best Goon Brenn

When two life-long friends go in search of “The Beast of Bodmin Moor”, will they get more than they bargained for?

This re-imagining of the story surrounding the Beast of Bodmin Moor, sees two friends, Grace and Jessica, who are self-proclaimed amateur Mythologists, travel to Cornwall in search of the elusive creature. 

Local folklore has it that a large animal prowls the Moors at night, killing and maiming livestock, raising concerns in the local community that several missing people may also have met the same fate.

Unpacking some personal history between them, the two women also hope that the trip will re cement their friendship following a troubled liaison that has led to mistrust and created a rift. 

Ignoring the best advice from friendly locals to make sure they don’t get caught out on the Moors after dark, their plans soon begin to go horribly wrong.

Can they reconcile their friendship and find the Beast of Bodmin, or will this trip end with more than just a “Twist in the Tail?”

This film is not suitable for children due to language and mild gore.

Also Showing: Beyond the Sea - a short film written and directed by Abigail Louise.

Best Goon Brenn is the first feature from Eclectica Films, made by a collective of like-minded artists, filmmakers and enthusiasts who all gave their time for free to create this film. Shot in Cornwall and benefitting from some wonderful locations provided generously for the production.

The Soundtrack for the film has been specifically chosen to represent some of the best, independant musical talent, both locally, and as far afield as Australia. These artists have graciously allowed their work to be used on the film, and we feel that each song’s lyrics together with its placement within the movie creates a synergy within the storyline. Many of the artists that have provided the music for the soundtrack, also appear in the film, showcasing not only their musical ability, but also their acting skills.

Having submitted the film to a selection of 2026 film festivals we are so proud to have won a laurel from The Purgatory Film Festival for Best Feature Film!

We are excited to hold our premieres for Best Goon Brenn at Saltash Studios and the first ticketed showings are on 5th & 26th June 2026.
