Indie Slasher Flick Serves Up Sweet Taste of Revenge

With premiere of 'Antisocial Behaviour' December 06

December 11, 2006 - Press Dispensary - For any pensioner too scared to leave the house, or the millions of Brits frustrated with the ‘I ain’t bovvered’ attitude of youths smashing vodka bottles in playgrounds and setting light to cars, Vinson Pike's directorial debut, ‘Antisocial Behaviour’ (http://www.antisocial-behaviour.com), will strike a chord. The indie horror flick premieres to cast and crew on December 11, 2006, and invites the attention of anyone with an axe to grind.

Shot on a budget of £100,000 – an amount professional filmmakers can spend on catering alone - and filmed over three years, the story portrays Jakob Kelser (played by newcomer David Watkins), an isolated man living on a run-down council estate. Pushed to the brink by the relentless torment and abuse of local youths, he takes the law into his own hands; order is gradually restored to his life, as one by one he dispatches each lout to a just end.

Pike, who wrote, directed, produced and edited the film with colleagues John Wilson, David Watkins and Steve Wilson, says: “Our film is a teen horror for adults - entertaining and suspenseful, but with a real edge. Addressing the issue of how much people suffer from the scourge of antisocial behaviour in the UK means the audience will find the fate of the yobs at the hands of Kelser particularly satisfying."

He continues: “Antisocial Behaviour may not have the gloss of a Hollywood production, but our film is all set to follow the success of cult independent films such as ‘Clerks’ and ‘The Blair Witch Project’. Here in the UK, seasoned film veterans are keen to lend their talents to independent filmmaking, proving there is an appetite for the freshness, irreverence and creative imagination that independent films offer over big budget crowd pleasers.”

The quirkiness of Antisocial Behaviour even extended to casting for the film. Vinson Pike invited anyone with an interest in the film to email photos and contact details to him. Pike explains: “A cast of amateur actors drives home the realism to the audience and makes the drama more absorbing; people aren’t sitting there thinking,’Was he in The Bill or Eastenders?’”

Pike is actively seeking distributors for Antisocial Behaviour, with the aim of reaching international, as well as national audiences.
