Description
A curious relationship develops between a mysterious young man and a woman who invites him to stay with her
Directed by Andy Milligan.
While living rough on the streets of London's East End, a young man, Dink (Milligan regular Berwick Kaler – Coronation Street, Red Riding), encounters the beautiful and mysterious Dee (Julie Shaw – The Big Switch). Concerned for Dinks welfare, she invites him to stay with her and get off the streets. The two soon develop a curious relationship which oscillates, often without warning, between sexual intimacy and raging jealousy. As tenderness gives way to cruelty, they become consumed by darkness and their relationship spirals out of control.
Previously thought lost, this extraordinary film has been remastered to HD from the only surviving film materials, Nightbirds is presented here with Milligan's British horror feature, The Body Beneath.
