Draining Lizards
Synopsis
At the centre of this decidedly dangerous situation are two small time crooks who have been unwittingly conned into 'caretaking' the gem until midnight. They have no inkling of the gem's real significance, or why so many sadistic people are determined to possess it... but they're slowly finding out!
The film is a twist of British film noir with old style Kung Fu. It is a story of deception and gullibility in the highest degree.
We follow John and Jerry through their absurd banter as they twist and turn through the maze of events that unravel before them. In the face of danger...

The Wilding
Director: Adam Park
Year:
Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
