“A great first-time horror flick …dry-heavingly hilarious… Shocking!” - Empire Online

Mayhem exists to present the best new horror to the best horror fans out there. So it’s with enormous pleasure that we announce a special screening of one of the most original new horror films to be made in Britain.

'Finding herself stranded after work one night, airport cleaner Lena accepts an offer of help from perky colleague Birdie, who lives nearby with her closeknit family.

But Birdie's front door proves to be the gateway to a very British sort of nightmare … This genuinely shocking, darkly witty Brit horror pushes all the boundaries – as well as offering a troubling alternative explanation for the recent chaos at a certain new flight terminal.

Contains scenes which some viewers may find disturbing.'


Steve Sheil, co-director of the festival and director of the highly anticipated feature debut, Mum & Dad will host a special Q & A autopsy of horror filmmaking as well as present his film at this years Mayhem, we expect the screening to be a sell out, so book early!

Mum & Dad enjoyed packed out screenings at the Edinburgh International Film festival where it premiered to a genuinely shocked audience, next the film tours with the German Fantasy Filmfest before screening at the renowned Sitges International Film Festival, where it has been nominated for the Midnight X-Treme Award, a prize given for the purest and harshest horror movies… and then Mum & Dad comes home to Nottingham and a special presentation from the director.

This is a must-see event, so book early. Booking details to come!
