A Dark, Gritty, and Brilliantly Acted Low-Budget British Film
'DERELICT,' a dark, gritty, and brilliantly acted thriller of revenge and empowerment, was filmed exclusively in Herefordshire, UK, on a budget of just £35k. The film focuses on a daughter's quest for revenge and the circumstances leading to her father's murder. Steeped in the tradition of British film noir, the story brings together a series of unusual characters facing situations with far-reaching consequences.
The narrative centers on Abigail (Suzanne Fulton), a socially isolated and angry young woman grappling with the brutal murder of her father years prior. Upon learning that one of her father's murderers is about to be released from prison, Abi embarks on a path of vengeance. Concurrently, Matt's (Michael Coombes) life is upended by the return of his brother Ewan (Pete Bird). Their fates intertwine in tragic ways that will shape their lives forever.
Directed by Jonathan Zaurin, 'DERELICT', was produced by Pete Bird, Andy Piper, Todd Rodgers, Sarah Zaurin and written by Kat Ellinger, Michael Mackenzie, Todd Rodgers, Jonathan Zaurin and Sarah Zaurin.
The standout cast features Suzanne Fulton ('Cold Feet,' 'Mum Said'), regular LBS Films contributors Mikey JL Coombes and Pete Bird (both 'Wyvern Hill'), Dean Kilbey ('Boiling Point,' 'Manfish,' 'Top Boy'), Nick Cornwall ('Devils,' 'Sky Sharks'), Corinne Strickett ('Housewarming'), Joe Nurse ('Santa Baby'), Darren James King ('April,' 'Essex Boys: Law Of Survival'), Ben Manning ('The Snarling,' 'Cursed'), and Stacey Coleman ('Polterheist,' 'Emmerdale').
With its dark and gripping narrative, 'DERELICT' is destined to be one of the standout films at this year's FrightFest, showcasing the impressive talent and creativity that can emerge from low-budget filmmaking.
'DERELICT' will celebrate its world premiere at FrightFest on Sunday, August 25th at 6:15 PM
