THE HEAVY

Betrayed by his brother and condemned to prison, Mitchell ‘Boots’ Mason (Gary Stretch), is forced to act as ‘The Heavy’ for wealthy business man Anawalt (Stephen Rea) and his slimy assistant Rubin (Lee Ryan) upon his release. To earn his freedom Boots has one last job to complete. Meanwhile his brother, Christian Mason (Adrian Paul), is a high flying politician contemplating life as the next Prime Minister and keen to steer clear of his brother’s shady work. Unexpectedly, Boots has the opportunity to save Christian’s life. Pressured by his father and pursued by unscrupulous police detective Dunn (Vinnie Jones), Boots is torn between revenge and survival.

DIAGNOSIS DEATH

Featuring the hilarious trio from Flight of The Conchords (Bret McKenzie, Rhys Darby & Jemaine Clement) this slick comedy horror is a riotous and gruesome nod to Peter Jackson’s (Lord Of The Rings) early films.  A supernatural force brings together two lost souls undergoing radical treatment at an experimental drug‐testing facility, but when the facility if locked down for the weekend and the drugs take effect, the human guinea pigs experience sinister hallucinations pointing to a horrific double murder.

Unsure of where reality stops, the apparitions become more and more threatening until the only way to leave the facility alive is to solve this haunting secret.

STRENGTH AND HONOUR

This one tells the story of an Irish-American boxer, Sean Kelleher (Michael Madsen), who accidentally kills his friend in the ring and promises his wife that he will never box again.  However, years later, when he discovers that his only son is dying of the same hereditary heart disorder which has taken his wife, he is forced to break his promise in order to raise the substantial funds needed for the surgery that could save his son’s life.
