The Urge

Synopsis

When young factory worker, Neil, witnesses a commuter commit suicide under a train he develops an unhealthy fixation with how it feels to take a life. Slowly he drags his work colleague and friend into a deranged plan to abduct, kill and dispose of a random stranger, but the truth proves far more brutal than they ever imagined.

THE URGE is an unrelenting trip into the disturbed minds of two young men, for whom 'what if' becomes a grisly reality.
