on Sunday 21st September. The event starts at 14:00.
Heavy Pictures Presents is proud to be screening Scooter McCrae's Shatter Dead.
We are bringing our season, showcasing ultra low budget and shot on video, to a very bloody end.
When the Angel of Death impregnates a mortal woman, the dead cease to die, and the world becomes inexplicably populated by morose and disenfranchised zombies whose primary desire is to co-exist with the living during their never-ending plight on Earth. Determined to traverse through this dystopian landscape and return home to her boyfriend, the gun-toting Susan runs afoul of a car jacking, undead religious cult led by a mysterious zealot known only as 'The Preacher Man' with now suicide now a pathway to eternal youth, Susan must grapple with her own mortality after discovering that her lover has gone through an ominous transformation of his own in her absence.
Shatter Dead won the Best Independent Film award at the 1995 Fantafestival, and what followed was a media frenzy in the UK at the tail end of the 'video nasty' moral panic.
It's also a huge pleasure to announce that we have a pre-recorded video intro from Scooter himself and followed by a pre-recorded Q&A.
This is going to be a Sunday matinée showing and a great warm-up for the Halloween season.
Trigger Warning:
Themes of suicide, abortion, and a sex scene that some viewers may find distressing.
