No Through Road (alternatively stylised simply as NTR) is a British web series written and directed by filmmaker Steven Chamberlain, who also stars.[1] Originating from a 2009 short film based on the Bunny Man urban legend,[3] the 1999 supernatural horror film The Blair Witch Project, and the 2008 psychological horror film The Strangers (from which Gillian Welch's "My First Lover" is sampled), it was expanded to a series in mid-2011. The series purports to be footage found in a discarded video camera belonging to four teenagers en route to Stevenage, England, as they find themselves trapped in a time loop, pursued by a hatted masked man. With the cast and crew initially being uncredited to maintain the illusion of the footage being real in the early days of online video platforms, the series was aired through to late-2012 on YouTube,[4][5] going viral and receiving a positive critical reception.
