‘Quarantine breached’
The Rizen is a British 2017 science fiction horror film written and directed by Matt Mitchell (It Never Sleeps; Gangsters, Guns & Zombies). The Lost Eye Films production stars Laura Swift, Tom Goodman-Hill and Sally Phillips.
The year is 1955. For a little over four years, NATO and the Allied Forces have been conducting secret, occult experiments in a bid to win the Arms Race.
Now, they have finally succeeded but what the Army has unleashed, threatens to tear our world apart.
One woman must lead the only survivors past horrors that the military has no way to control – and fight to close what should never have been opened…
A sequel, The Rizen 2, is also apparently already in production. Meanwhile, the first film is showing at the Sci-Fi-London festival on 6 May 2017.
