Synopsis

When London couple Louise and Clare book a boat trip to recover from personal tragedy, their trip of a lifetime through the Scottish Highlands soon descends into a hellish ordeal as they delve further into the wilds. They are confronted by layer upon layer of jeopardy from a variety of sources, but neither our heroes nor the audience can tell which threat will ultimately prove decisive. With many twists along the way we’re kept guessing until the very end. A psychological thriller built around a strong central relationship between two very different yet sympathetic characters. Think “Deliverance” meets “Rosemary's Baby”.

Synopsis

Hindu Kush, Afghanistan October 2014. War ends at midnight, all five British soldiers have to do is stay alive till then. In the midst of a firefight the five British soldiers try to find a safe haven to sit out the last night of the Afghan war. Trekking through dense woodland they come across a large imposing British fort dating from the early 19th century. On nearing the entrance to the fort they see 5 other British soldiers enter, with great relief they also enter the fort but find it eerily unoccupied. Where have the British troops gone? As the night unfolds and their mission is finally explained, they find themselves in a labyrinthine nightmare of seemingly un-combatable spirits from another realm. Time also seems to move in inexplicable ways to the point where they question their own reality. Who will stay alive till midnight, will any, are they already dead? 'Boots on the Ground' makes a little bit of film history by being the first British feature film to be shot entirely by its actors wearing head-cams, mirroring the use of head-cameras by real soldiers in combat situations in 21st century war zones.
