First pics from short UK horror film 'Switch' from Melanie Light

Check out these first images from Switch, a new short horror film produced, written, edited and directed by British filmmaker Melanie Light, usually known for her production design on horror films like Scarcrow. Switch was produced by Charlotte Knight, with cinematography by Nicolas Britt, and stars Kitty Broadhurst and Robin King.

Light calls Switch "a battle of the sexes." Lots of societal references, and her feelings on large corporations dominate, along with a punk aesthetic in regards to costume.

"There's a strong element of girl power," she says...

"My male character is on his way home, but gets distracted by a female jogging out in the snowy roads. He decides to pursue her, leading to a nasty conclusion... One night I just thought, you know what, I'm sick of all the boys getting all the glory and fun killing people in their movies and I think its about time I had a go..."

Shot in the U.K. this past winter, Switch will feature snow and harsh weather, along with action sequences.
