K-Shop Red Band Trailer Delivers A Meaty Delivery of Sweeney Todd

Late night out, boozing, dancing having fun with your friends now time to go home you have to feed that appetite as you struggle to get home. On July 22nd Dan Pringle’s K-Shop that taste for that iconic kebab may change when bloody vengeance comes to the streets of a British seaside town in this darkly comic horror, check out the UK Red Trailer…

In K-Shop, after his father is killed in an altercation with drunken thugs, Salah’s world is plunged into darkness. Forced into running the family kebab shop alone, Salah struggles to manage the increasingly rowdy night life and when a fight with an angry customer goes fatally wrong, he finds himself with a dead body on his hands. With no faith in the authorities Salah disposes of the body in the one place he knows best… the kebabs. As the shop’s gullible customers devour the new recipe, Salah develops a taste for the kill and seizes the opportunity to turn vigilante and seek revenge on the abusive drunkards plaguing the streets.

while writer-director Dan Pringle packs K-Shop with the blood, guts and meat to satisfy the hunger of the most hardcore horror fans, there’s some genuinely smart satire as the film takes a meat cleaver to drinking culture – hacking to pieces the kind of carnage many Brits will recognize from the streets most Friday and Saturday nights.

We caught the film earlier this year at Edinburgh’s Dead By Dawn horror film festival. Our Sister site Cinehouse horror editor Scott Clark calling the movie “Dan Pringle has lifted the bare bones of Sweeney Todd out of that outdated Gothic fable and plunged them into the deep-fat-fryer of contemporary anxiety.” Read his review here.

Bulldog Film Distribution are releasing K-Shop here in UK&Ireland via an limited cinema run from 22nd July. The film stars Ziad Abaza,Scot Williams,Darren Morfitt,Reece Noi,Lucinda Rhodes,Ewen McIntosh.
