A Society primer to her Hex, Amicus and British Horror Studio work
Megan Tremethick’s feature career charts the rise of a modern leading lady shaped by classic cinema values. Through Hex Studios and the British Horror Studio she has moved from early ensemble turns to commanding, centre-stage roles, and with Amicus she has stepped into the grand tradition of British anthology horror.
Early features and first sightings
Audiences first met Megan in Dragon Knight, an early foray where she stands out for poise and presence within a traditional and fairly conventional fantasy framework. However, soon after came Ghost Crew, with a heart-wrenching turn as Sandy that revealed the tragedienne within and signalled the classic discipline that would become her hallmark.
Sword-and-sorcery to Gothic regality
Her momentum accelerated with The Slave and the Sorcerer, where she embodied the faerie sorceress Nemain with theatrical clarity and a touch of menace. That classical bearing blossomed into a signature role in The Reign of Queen Ginnarra, a dark, medieval Gothic Epic in which Megan’s icy poise and emotional voltage carry the crown.
The Amicus revival
Megan joined the official revival of Amicus Productions in In the Grip of Terror, aligning her Vivien-Leigh-inflected elegance with the studio that defined British portmanteau horror. It is a natural home for her restrained intensity and classic delivery and… it is here combined with The Reign of Queen Ginnarra that this young woman’s potential becomes recognised by the studio.
The studio slate expands
Within the British Horror Studio slate, Megan Tremethick triumphs as the prima donna and rising star, currently filming no fewer than six feature films listed below. These include her own directorial feature debut, Spoiling You, in which she also stars, and a co-starring role in For We Are Many 2.
In Sawney, Megan plays Lady Agnes, a young aristocrat kidnapped by the mythic cannibal clan led by the folkloric villain Sawney Bean, with unexpected consequences in a lavish eighteenth-century production.
In Black Chariot, a 1940s-set film noir, she co-stars with Laurence R. Harvey of The Human Centipede films, bringing cool, period poise to a shadow-drenched moral maze.
The Yellow Wallpaper is the hotly anticipated feature film debut of Sarah Daly, co-owner of Hex Studios, giving Megan a psychologically charged canvas steeped in literary Gothic.
In Mr Whispers, Megan plays Kathryn Hale, a paranormal investigator drawn to an abandoned cinema where she searches for clues to a series of childhood disappearances from decades earlier.
In For We Are Many 2, Megan joins the ensemble of the cult anthology’s sequel, contributing a finely calibrated turn that leans into her classic craft and Lovecraftian horror.
With The B-Team, an imprint within the British Horror Studio, Megan stars in Chronicles of Depression, a 1950s-set drama of institutional horror directed by Lawrie Brewster. She plays Marion, a young woman in a mental institution, opposite Royal Shakespeare Company veteran Ian McCulloch.
Alongside acting, Megan writes and directs her psychological feature Spoiling You, further proving that her classic instincts extend behind the camera.
Together these projects trace a consistent identity: classic craft, clear diction and a quietly romantic glamour set against modern indie horror.
