ABOUT

STOP THE HORROR is a 6-minute film based on the true story of a terminally ill patient, Greg Sims. It was promoted as a ‘horror’ film by Australian director, Justin Kurzel (Assassin’s Creed, Snowtown), and it documents Sims’ brutal last days before he died. It captures the unrelievable pain and unnecessary suffering he had to endure at the end of his life. The film is so distressing, it includes an age-gate and several warnings before the viewer can watch it. When the film begins, a ‘Stop The Horror’ button appears on-screen so the viewer can escape the film if it becomes too distressing. Once clicked, we revealed that Greg Sims did not have that same right - he could not escape the horror. We then give the viewer the contact details of their local politicians so they can express their support for a Voluntary Assisted Dying law.
