SURVIVANT(S) - ON DVD, SPRING 20098 CONTESTANTS, A SINGLE WINNER
France, year 2014. To resolve a problem of prison overpopulation, the new totalitarian government announces that it supports openly the production of a new real TV show. In this show, 8 condemned to death prisoners are selected and locked into a disused military experiment factory infested with zombies. They must find the exit within 2 hours, but a single survivor can leave the building and recover his freedom...
A 100% ACTION FILM FILLED WITH MANY TWISTS
"SURVIVANT(S)" is the last short film directed by young french filmmaker Vincent Lecrocq (who directed an ambitious 14 min war drama entitled "THEY WERE IN NORMANDY" in 2007). Vincent Lecrocq proposes a futuristic survival filled with action. In "SURVIVANT(S)" a group of condemned to death prisoners are used as fair game for mutant creatures thristy for flesh and blood in a sadistic real TV show. The action scenes are rough and violent without falling into the exagerreted gory style. Every character tries to survive on his own : alliance, murders, lies, betrayal... "SURVIVANT(S)" is filled with many twists until the ending credits.
