We’ve got some amazing FrightFest 2024 news for you today dear readers as Black Water Pictures is thrilled to share the news that their horror comedy, Members Club, will be celebrating its World Premiere at this year’s Pigeon Shrine FrightFest on 24th August.
Written and Directed by Marc Coleman, the film stars a host of British talent including Dean Kilbey (ManFish, Boiling Point (2023), Top Boy), Perry Benson (Love Honour and Obey, This is England, Benidorm), Barbara Smith (EastEnders, Call The Midwife, Casualty), Juliet Cowan (Culprits, Cuckoo, Motherland), Mark Monero (Sid and Nancy, Free Fire, Happy New Year Colin Burstead), Steve Oram (Sightseers, The World’s End, Aaaaaaaah!), David Schaal (The Inbetweeners, EastEnders, Down Terrace), Alan Ford (Snatch, Cockneys vs Zombies, Toast of London), Liam Noble (Peep Show, ManFish, Bridgerton) as well as Peter Andre (Dragged Up Dirty, On The Other Foot).Â
Wet Dreams, a middle-aged male stripper group have hit rock bottom. After a string of disastrous gigs, the gang considers disbanding. Alan, the group’s happy-go-lucky frontman, takes over the business and books the boys a lucrative and mysterious gig in rural Essex. But when the group arrive at the desolate club, their night quickly takes a dark turn when they find themselves tangled up in a plot to raise a murderous 16th-century witch from the dead.
Members Club takes you on a journey from the mundane world of middle-aged male strippers to the downright ludicrous world of talking cheese and pineapple hedgehogs, whisky-drinking toads, OnlyFans for pensioners and Peter Andre’s most outrageous role yet – leading to a rip-roaring finale that has never been captured on film before.
Marc Coleman, Writer/Director, says: “I’m really excited for the world to see Members Club. We’ve been working on this project from script to screen for over 2 years and I can’t wait to show audiences what we’ve been up to. It’s a middle-aged ‘Magic Mike’ meets a British ‘From Dusk Till Dawn”
Raghav ’Gav’ Mukerji, Producer, says: “The world has been calling for a stripper-killing witch film for years and we were brave enough to do it and make it as balls to the walls mental as we could. It’s a testament to our director’s ability that there’s enough substance, heart and craft in the project to have the audience walk away feeling something too.”
Kevin Harvey, of Black Water Pictures, says: “When Gav and Marc approached Black Water with this project, we jumped at the chance to bring to market this highly original and frankly hilarious riot of a horror comedy.”
MEMBERS CLUBÂ will have its World Premiere at FrightFest on 24th August.
