The plotline for The Dead:
"Stranded in Africa amid an apocalyptic zombie outbreak, Lieutenant Brian Murphy unwillingly teams up with local soldier Daniel to commence on a journey across harsh lands in an attempt to survive against the onslaught of ‘the dead’. In a film that has as many stunning vistas as terrifying scares and gore, The Dead reclaims the zombie genre from the realm ofthe ‘zomcom’ by returning to the peak of Romero’s era, with the protagonists’ epic journey providing an emotional twist to frame the splatter and scares of the zombie genre that we know and love" (Fanomenon).
The synopsis for Kidnapped:
"From the company who brought [REC] to the world comes a home invasion movie unlike any other. Filmed in just 12 shots, Kidnapped immerses you in the horrific circumstances faced by Jame, Marta and their daughter Isa as they are taken captive in their own home, and as they begin to fight back...Director Miguel Ángel Vivas refuses to let up on both tension and violence throughout, and proves himself as this year’s breakout horror talent. A terrifying experience that revives an all too familar genre, Kidnapped stuns through its standout acting and direction as much as its brutality" (Fanomenon)
The synopsis for Red, White and Blue:
"Red, White and Blue is the gripping yet bleak tale of Erica, a girl whose life is spent having meaningless sex with any men that will have her - apart from war veteran Nate, the only man whos hows her compassion. But Erica harbours a terrible secret that ultimately throws the lives of herself, Nate and one-night-stand Franki into chaos, violence and vengeance. Following his terrific The Living and the Dead, writer/director Simon Rumley proveshe is perhaps the closest thing Britain has to Michael Haneke. Violent, intricate and most of all harrowing, Rumley has created a unique genre film with intelligence and social commentary" (Fanomenon).
The synopsis for Rare Exports:
"In the snowy desolate wastes of Finland, the rarest product in the world is about to be discovered. But the hunters of Rare Exports Inc. have no idea hat they are about to face, with their quarry being more ferocious and deadly than they could possibly imagine: the wild and savage Santa Claus! In a feature-length origins story of the award winning shorts by Jalmari Helander, forget everything you thought you knew about Christmas, as Rare Exports reveals the deadly work involved in taming Santa Clauses to work in shopping centre grottos around the world."
The plot for The Last Employee:
"After a sacked employee hangs herself, David is ravaged by guilt as his life becomes plagued by terrifying visions of the dead woman. As the encounters become increasingly real, David must convince his family and employer that they are in danger, but no-one wants to listen to a guilt-ridden madman until it’s too late. An atmospheric and terrifying tale of vengeance in the vein of Japanese horror films Dark Water and The Grudge, The Last Employee will surely resonate with anyone who has ever lost their job or who has had to sack someone."
