EUROPEAN PREMIERE - After a global catastrophe, the last man on Earth finds himself questioning his purpose and sanity as both his deceased wife and a mysterious stranger confront him with his past, his present, and whatever future might remain in the wastes of a dead world. I AM LEGEND meets A CHRISTMAS CAROL by way of cosmic H. P. Lovecraft from FrightFest guest favourite, actor/director Graham Skipper (SUITABLE FLESH, THE LEECH, MIND’S EYE, SEQUENCE BREAK). A personal endeavour that allows gutsy Skipper to test his heart-felt mettle in a claustrophobic environment with an emotionally complex character. Let the madness begin!
