Synopsis

Chapter 1 of the Bloody Banjo Saga

Meet Peltzer Arbuckle, a bullied office employee, humiliated by his megalomaniac boss, teasing colleagues and cheating partner. Stuck in his mundane, nightmarish reality, once news about an embarrassing sexual accident circulates the workplace, Peltzer decides to put up with his misery no more, and conjures up his childhood imaginary friend Ronnie who manipulates him to exact gruesome revenge on his tormenting co-workers. As the body count rises, Peltzer must either run away from his past or take control of his future, battling between sanity and madness in a twisted tale of infidelity, revenge and snapped banjo strings.

Key Reviews

"(My Bloody) Banjo is a bizarre and unique achievement to be seen as soon as possible; this is one (film) that will set social media alight."

Louise Tooth

"Bold, brilliant and fist-pumpingly offensive, Banjo is a multi-million-volt stun gun to the nutsack of British indie horror, something to wake it from its generation-long slumber of found footage and generic haunted house movies."
