Company

A modern fairy tale - but with zombies. When the sheltered and unsocialised Oliver is tasked with making new friends after the sudden and devastating death of his mother, he decides that digging a few up (literally) might be his best bet. However, when he awakens the morning after his excavating escapades, he discovers that his newly acquired friends have mysteriously come to life overnight, launching them all into a series of misadventures as they try to keep their secret safe from neighbours, bullies, and social workers alike.

A satire and a celebration of family values, of the imagery of horror films, of suburban life, of the American Dream and of the ultimate taboo: death.
