Critically Acclaimed Ghost Story Starring Whitmer Thomas Hits the Screens on January 19, 2024
In a blend of humor and haunting realism, the film 'THE CIVIL DEAD' is set to captivate UK audiences both in select cinemas and on demand starting January 19, 2024, brought to you by Bulldog Film. Directed by Clay Thomas, with Whitmer Thomas of 'Glow' fame as co-writer and star, this film offers a fresh perspective on the classic ghost story genre.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles, 'THE CIVIL DEAD' introduces us to Clay, a photographer living a modest life with his artistic wife, Whitney. Faced with a creative slump and a lack of employment, Clay is urged by Whitney to find productivity and purpose during her absence. His routine life, however, veers off course when he reconnects with his old friend, Whit. An evening of rekindling old ties leads to a startling confession from Whit, thrusting Clay into a whirlwind of self-doubt and a questioning of reality that strains his marriage.
The film's unique narrative and low-fi aesthetic have already earned it accolades, including the Audience Award and a nomination for Best Narrative Feature at the prestigious Slamdance Film Festival. It also made a notable appearance at the Glasgow Film Festival in 2023, marking its UK debut.
