Synopsis

Locked away in their theatre, the cast and crew of “Angels In Hell” spend seemingly endless hours in rehearsal, unaware of the rapid and shocking changes taking place in the world outside.

Now, trapped in the theatre by a horde of the living dead, with limited resources, they must decide between staying put and hoping for rescue, or taking matters into their own hands and making an extremely risky break for it.

As debate over the course of action splits the group, and the spreading zombie virus starts to reduce their numbers, they are unaware that the greatest danger to their lives dwells within their ranks.

Theatre of the Dead is the first film to be developed through the recently formed Canberra Feature Film Coalition. The CFFC is made up of a mix of local award-winning short filmmakers and others who are just starting out, who have decided to pool their resources to produce feature films in the Australian Capital Territory, with an emphasis on the horror, action and comedy genres.

Written and directed by Patrick J Gallagher, and produced by Daniel Sanguineti and John Cougar, Theatre of the Dead places the familiar zombie genre in a unique environment, and aims to deliver an intense and gory thrill-ride to its viewers.
