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.

1975. Jay, an eighteen year old who appears ordinary but harbours a dangerous, uncontrollable compulsion. By night, he prowls quiet suburban neighbourhoods, driven by urges he neither fully understands nor can suppress. What begins as trespassing and voyeurism slowly escalates into a disturbing pattern of crimes that terrorise the community. Raised in isolation with a distant military father and an overwhelmed mother, Jay’s neglected childhood fuels his deviance. As a teenager, his thrill-seeking manifests in strange burglaries - not for theft, but for control. Soon, reports of sexual assaults surface, signalling that Jay has crossed a point of no return. Detectives Shoore and Remming lead the hunt for the elusive “Marcavillian Hunter,” but Jay adapts quickly, evading capture despite near-misses and a chance encounter that goes unnoticed. Hoping to escape his impulses, Jay joins the military - only to return more dangerous than before. His crimes culminate in a calculated provocation and a tragic confrontation that leaves the case unresolved. Decades later, Jay lives free, convinced he has outrun his past. But unseen eyes still watch. A chilling psychological crime drama about obsession, evasion, and the banality of evil.
