Lunatic
Synopsis
Bill and Perry, the brothers, are small time entrepreneurs. Howard, Dave and Laurie are their partners. The chaps get the bulk of their money from collecting rents on ex-council properties that they acquire through a scam.
The main character of the story ‘Bill’ takes the viewer through two days of events that he persistently blames upon an impending full moon.
With tender-sweet moments of love, laughter and south London banter, entrepreneurs, sidekicks, wives, lovers and friends push the film towards its conclusion of revenge with wonderful street humour and colour.
Infidelity, betrayal, suicide and murder crash onto the screen with an authenticity rarely witnessed.

Lil, a young mother, struggles to connect with her newborn baby. Ashamed and exhausted, she tells no one not even her domineering mother, Judith.

Drawn to mothers who are uncertain or overwhelmed, an ancient creature begins to circle, waiting for an opportunity to rid her of her burden. When the family relocates to Judith’s childhood home, isolated deep in the countryside, buried tensions erupt and old secrets surface. The creature closes in, and a primal battle begins between a now-desperate mother and a relentless, all-consuming force.
