EXIT
A seemingly innocent double booking forces two couples from different backgrounds to share a London apartment for the evening. A night of drink, drugs, sex and new experiences follows. However, as morning comes, events take a sinister turn. Everything has a price and not all debts are paid for with money. What would you do to survive? Leaving: it’s harder than you think.

Day of the Stranger
The only British guerrilla-shot homage to the acid western ever made promises a kaleidoscope of blood, guns, satanic nymphs and psychedelic frenzy! If Alejandro Jodorowsky is your thing, this weird and trippy British Western might be right up your ranch.
