Pepperjack is a haunting romantic horror that follows a young woman who turns to an ancient ritual in a desperate attempt to reclaim her long-lost lover. What begins as an act of passion and longing quickly unravels into a curse that binds them both beyond reason, as love, memory, and the supernatural collide in ways neither can escape. Rooted in Afro-Caribbean spiritual tradition, the film explores how grief and desire can blur the boundaries between the living and the spiritual world. The film is directed by Joel Carrington Miller, an award-winning Jamaican filmmaker, playwright, and educator known for blending Afro-Caribbean spirituality, social realism, and cinematic storytelling. His acclaimed body of work includes Hairport, Blackbird, Chiaroscurist, Crosses, and Ludi, earning top honors across regional and international film festivals for writing, directing, and cinematography. A former CAPE Cinematic Arts examiner and lecturer at the University of the West Indies, Miller’s work consistently bridges cultural identity, emotional truth, and theatrical storytelling. With Pepperjack, Miller expands into horror through an intimate, psychological lens, focusing not on spectacle but on love, loss, and memory. Drawing from Jamaican folklore and inherited spiritual beliefs, the film preserves cultural traditions that live in storytelling, ritual, and generational memory. It stands as both a love story and a spiritual echo—an exploration of how belief and grief can shape realities beyond the physical world.
