Mum and Dad, and their 'adopted' children, Birdie & Elbie, work at the airport. The family live off whatever they scavenge from cargo holds, offices and hotels - including a steady stream of transient workers who populate the airport's soulless hub. When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner, is befriended by Birdie, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder and perversity.
Acting
Perry Benson's Dad: deeply unnerving, weirdly domestic evil.
Practical Effects
Grotty, tactile violence that feels genuinely found, not staged.
Director
Steven Sheil
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in 18 days in a real house, with the cast doing their own grimy makeup continuity.
Part of a wave of '00s 'torture porn' that critics hated but Sheil intended as class commentary—East European migrant workers as disposable meat for British consumption.
