‘Members Club', from Black Water Pictures, will have its World Premiere at this year's Pigeon Shrine FrightFest on 24th August 2024.
The film is written and directed by Marc Coleman and is described as being a cross between ‘The Full Monty' and ‘From Dusk Till Dawn'. The film features a host of British talent including Dean Kilbey (‘ManFish'), Perry Benson (‘Love Honour and Obey'), Barbara Smith (‘EastEnders'), Juliet Cowan (‘Culprits'), Mark Monero (‘Sid and Nancy'), Steve Oram (‘Sightseers'), David Schaal (‘The Inbetweeners'), Alan Ford (‘Snatch'), Liam Noble (‘Peep Show') as well as pop star Peter Andre.
Wet Dreams, a middle-aged male stripper group have hit rock bottom. After a string of disastrous gigs, the gang considers disbanding. Alan, the group's happy-go-lucky front man, takes over the business and books the boys a lucrative and mysterious gig in rural Essex. But when the group arrive at the desolate club, their night quickly takes a dark turn when they find themselves tangled up in a plot to raise a murderous 16th century witch from the dead.
‘Members Club' takes you on a journey from the mundane world of middle-aged male strippers to the down right ludicrous world of talking cheese and pineapple hedgehogs, whisky drinking toads, OnlyFans for pensioners and Peter Andre’s most outrageous role yet – leading to a rip roaring finale that has never been captured on film before.
Marc Coleman, Writer/Director, says: “I’m really excited for the world to see ‘Members Club'. We’ve been working on this project from script to screen for over 2 years and I can’t wait to show audiences what we’ve been up to. It's a middle-aged ‘Magic Mike’ meets a British ‘From Dusk Till Dawn”
Raghav ’Gav’ Mukerji, Producer, says: “The world has been calling for a stripper-killing witch film for years and we were brave enough to do it and make it as balls to the walls mental as we could. It's a testament to our director's ability that there's enough substance, heart and craft in the project to have the audience walk away feeling something too.”
Kevin Harvey, of Black Water Pictures, says: “When Gav and Marc approached Black Water with this project, we jumped at the chance to bring to market this highly original and frankly hilarious riot of a horror comedy.”
