Quick Answer

What is Dead Creatures about?

Dead Creatures is a 2001 UK drama, horror, and thriller film directed by Andrew Parkinson about a group of young women afflicted with a disease that forces them into cannibalism as they struggle to survive in an urban underworld while being hunted themselves.

Programmer's Pick

Cannibalism, urban decay, and a band of women fighting for survival—Dead Creatures doesn’t just gnaw at the edges of horror; it takes a bite out of the genre. Andrew Parkinson crafts a bleak cityscape where sisterhood is both salvation and curse. Not your average dinner party.
