THE LOCK IN

Aim

Get ready for The Lock In, a short horror-comedy film, created by final year film production students, from the University of Hertfordshire.

Pubs aren’t the only thing dying in England...

“The Lock In” is a horror-comedy short about George, an immigrant and small town local who, through no fault of his own, finds himself hunted by a vicious zombie horde. As the terrible virus sweeps the nation, George seeks shelter in a local pub only to find the remaining patrons, Martin, Chris, and Mary less than welcoming. Threatening to throw him out as bait, can he turn their favour before the horde turns them all?

From script, to set, and to the edit, our team of 9 are doing it all. But we can only do so much ourselves, and this is where you come in! 

Any funds raised here will go towards funding our: Actors, Locations, props and travel.

All crucial parts of making this film the best quality that it can be.
