TERMINUS

 

An urban survival thriller that pitches two young professional lawyers against a crew of juvenile delinquents out to cause chaos and mayhem during the Xmas festivities. Inspired by the dark work of Fincher and the European sensibilities of Noe, this beak and oppressive journey into isolation and fear holds nothing back in its portrayal of a society run amok.

BROTHERHOOD

 

A political thriller in the best traditions of directors like Neil Jordan, set deep in the heart of Eire in the wake of the Good Friday Agreement, and the inevitable power vacuum that resulted as the PIRA backed away from violent confrontation in their search for political resolve. As new factions of disillusioned Irishmen, and perversely, foreign gangs look to muscle in on the wealth of criminal opportunities arising, two young men are drawn into a world they neither understand nor desire, in their efforts to find a place in the new world.

 

 

SAFE ZONE

 

In the wake of ten years of immersion in a war that was never going to be won, a young soldier, left severely disfigured by an IED, returns from Afghanistan

to face the painful truth of his girlfriend’s infidelity. But more than the knowledge of intimate betrayal is the dawning reality of

his colleagues’ avoidable deaths something that he attributes to that same 'Dear John' letter from home. As he puts a deadly plan of kidnap and torture into operation he is about to teach his wayward girlfriend, and the man she saw fit to betray him with, a lesson about loyalty.

 

BEACHCOMBER

 

Back in the late 70's and early 80's four films changed the horror landscape forever, each one in a way very different from the next - Alien, Friday 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween. Each brought an iconic 'anti-hero' to the screen who has since been regurgitated and copied many times over, most often with less effect than the original. Taking the cue from those successes, and the absence in British film history of our own tribute to that era, comes Cluny Barr - The Beachcomber - part real, part myth, part legend, his crime spree brought terror to the Western Isles like no other character living or ficticious in British criminal history.

TRAPPED

 

Inspired by the action espionage films of recent years like The Bourne Identity, and Skyfall, yet fed up of the derivative gangster movies circulating the Brit indie circuit, TRAPPED is a welcome departure, instead focusing on, not one man as a fish out of water, but an entire criminal gang, faced down by one man into who's terrain they have stumbled. With a clear protagonist for whom audiences can root, in a landscape best known to him, he is able to wreak terror upon those who would bring death and destruction to his tranquil home in the pursuit of their own money-motivated ends.

BUTTERFLY COLLECTOR

 

A murder thriller in the best traditions of directors like David Fincher, comes this singularly strange tale of a man who turns his self-hatred and self-loathing against the very beauty he seems to despise in the world beyond his door. Part gentle, part intelligent, all self-consumed, Frank Compton is a caretaker on a housing estate destined for demolition but who uses his knowledge of the subterranean landscape of the estate to hide his macabre predilictions - a collection of butterflies so vast it appears as a lifetime's labour of love. Only not all the butterflies in his collection are of the insect variety.

 

 

G.E.C.O

 

We live in a world that pre-supposes to push the limits of science and the natural order of things, for power, money, and control. For decades the US government has been involved in the funding of genetic research and warfare technology, the aim to reduce the risk of human casualties in regions of conflict where they are, or make themselves, participants. In 2007 information came to light that suggested that prior to the Vietnam war the US were on the verge on a massive breakthrough in the binding of carbon, human, and primate DNA. Tests proved inconclusive. At least that's what we were told. The world subsequently discovered the truth - G.E.C.O.

 

OVERDRIVE

 

Resonating with the claustrophobic, isolated themes of Phone Booth, Buried, 127 Hours, and other 'containment thriller' concepts is this tale of a car accident that leaves a young mother teetering on the edge of a terrifying death or the torment of a trapped and lingering one, all the while trying to reconcile the truth of the fragmented conversations with her dead friend lying in the car next to her. As exhuastion, hallucination, exposure and fear conspire to rob her of her life she battle to survive with only the thoughts of her devoted husband and two loving children to pull her through. Only her idyllic life may not be everything she believes it to be.

It is the whispering voices in the darkness of

a man's mind that propels him towards

unspeakable acts of cruelty.
