Synopsis

An ‘urban fear’ grips the tenants of an inner city allotment when the long-predicted apocalypse finally arrives. Gardeners of all levels of green-fingered ability and produce-preference, are afraid to venture onto their plots, especially late at night. And, even when they can summon enough courage to do so, there is no safety in numbers, for the dead have risen from the depths beneath the cabbage patch and the rows of sweet pea, hell bent on mischief, mayhem and consumption of the living. Only the nimble fingered “figurine war-gamer” Trevor, aka ‘Casimir the Destroyer’, and his best friend Graham, the knightly “Sir Brandt”, stand between the devilish hordes of undead and the salvation of mankind – well at least in their alter-ego fantasies they do. Until of course one dark night, as they look beyond the confines of Trevor’s little wooden shed, they discover the world has truly fallen into the hands of the undead – particularly Trevor’s allotment tenant neighbours. Now Trevor must venture into the unknown to save his wife, Bobbi, and her ‘capricious’ friend Harriet from a world gone to chaos, and in so doing become the hero he has always fantasised he was.

Synopsis

A fantasy wargaming nerd and his best friend hole up in an allotment shed during a zombie apocalypse only to realise that they must actually become their heroic alter-egos, a warlock and a knight, in order to save the women in their life - even if it means tackling all the allotment tenants in the bargain.

Synopsis

Carl Foster, a work obsessed man, reluctantly agrees to a weekend away with his disgruntled wife and disruptive children - it’s as much as he can do to muster any kind of enthusiasm for the few days he must endure in their company. Their constant bickering finally takes its toll on Carl when they are passed, on a deserted country road, by a convoy of ‘carnival types’, who, by mischief or accident, cause Carl to swerve off the road. With rage descending Carl gets into heated exchange with the travellers. Taking an enforced stop hours later, in a small layby, the family are again affronted as their stationary vehicle is rammed by an unseen assailant in a large truck. Dazed by the impact they wake, bound and gagged, within the dreary confines of an abandoned roadside diner, with, seemingly, the same carnival types now their abductors and antagonists. As the gang demeans, insults, and tortures each of their captives in turn, it falls to Carl to free his family from their predicament. But not everything is as it seems, their environment not as tortuous as they imagined, and Carl not all that he would have us believe.
