Starring: The Disgraced Detective, The Mysterious Heiress, and The Skeptical Scholar.

The Hook: “Some secrets are too big to hide… and even heavier to carry.”

Overview: Step into the rain-soaked grounds of Swinford Manor, where reality blurs with the surreal. The trailer opens on a stormy night, flashlight beams cutting through the fog as a vintage car sinks slowly into the marshlands. A disgraced investigator arrives to solve a baffling disappearance, only to find the guests trapped by rising waters and a looming, colossal presence in the sky. Is the giant silhouette above a shared hallucination or a manifestation of the estate’s dark sins? The Hippopotamus promises a gripping psychological mystery that blends classic noir with surrealist horror.

Rating: 8.5/10 – “Visually arresting and deeply atmospheric—a wet, wild, and wonderfully weird cinematic experience that feels like Agatha Christie meets a fever dream.”
