Wasted Youth

Synopsis

Jamie and Ben are two students faced with the age old trauma of getting out of bed in time for lectures and into bed with the girl of their choice, until they come across a bag filled with several pounds of hash that's been hastily discarded by a slimy local crook. Here is the gateway to a fantasy term of dulled brains and newfound popularity: 'the answer to all our troubles' reckons Ben, floating inches from the ceiling, 'financial, social and spiritual'.

Blood Junkies Blood Junkies

Director: Bruce Naughton

Year: 2001

Dr Zena Morton runs a housing scheme clinic treating AIDS patients, and her patients are dying. But not from AIDS. They are turning up beaten and battered and drained of blood. The police who are secretly running an anti-junkie vigilante gang, refuse to investigate. The trail leads to Sir Rurari McDorachas, who claims he is a Vampire. Dr Morton must overcome her belief in the rational as she prepares to confront Sir Rurari on his own bloody terms, leading to a gore drenched climax.<br /> <br /> Running Dog Films specialises in producing low budget genre films using proven no/lo production methods combined with the latest desk-top digital technology. <br /> <br /> Brigadoon this certainly isn't. There is an evil spirit draining blood from junkies on a run down Scottish housing estate, a series of events that leads a local doctor to the sleazy world of Blood Junkies: the influences here aren't Bill Forsyth and Sandy McKendrick - more Roger Cormen, Fred Olen Ray and Hammer! - The List Magazine.

A sleepwalking Emma comes face to face with a mysterious entity 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.
