An isolated island is no place to be alone when mutant beasts roam in the fog.
Island Life, 90 pages, is a Scottish monster movie in the vein of “Dog Soldiers” and "Descent". The script is based on my novel, Island Life, published in the USA in 2001 by Barclay Books.
A scientist and two lighthouse keepers do battle against a tribe of mutated creatures on their isolated island. But everyone else they know is either dead or missing, and when night comes, and the fog rolls in, the fun begins in earnest.

Booze, Broads and tentacles in the city.
The Amulet is 105 page B-movie noir-meets-monster tale revolving around a Bogart buff and the MacGuffin of an ancient amulet of power that has gang-lords in a frenzy trying to locate it. The monster barely appears and needs little FX, if any… Based on my novel The Midnight Eye Files: The Amulet, published by Black Death Books in 2005.
