Dead Casual

2002 · 30 min

A laddish match-day comedy that slowly curdles into unease as the banter turns sinister.

Directed by
Julian Holmes
Overview
The only things Wayne cares about are that Chelsea wins at the football, how much beer there is in the fridge, and his son's viewing habits. When Wayne's mates arrive to watch a match news is heard that a local policeman has been killed. The party atmosphere changes to something more sinister.
