Ian, who has starred in Doctor Who, When Nature Calls and Doc Martin, plays the role of The Architect, a mysterious figure at the centre of the film. The film, an anthology horror feature which draws from the love of the old Hammer Horror pictures from the 1960-70s, was filmed last year and this spring at the 12th century Manor House.

The Walsall-based film-makers from Lightbeam Productions say that Ian is “amazing and very supportive” and it was great to get him for the role. Sandwell’s visitor services officer at the Manor House Museum, Rachel Kinsella said: “I have seen a sneek peek of clips from the film and it looks brilliant. “The Manor House looks so eerie – I cannot wait to see the finished production.”
