A small group of forensic undergrads, annoying all, are taken to a remote island for an FBI field training exercise. The island was previously home to a prison for life-term criminals, but has subsequently been closed for several years. The prison, which had the unfortunate moniker of 13 Eerie Straight Penitentiary, remains standing along with several small cabins, all closed off by a surrounding fence. The students are paired off and given a specific area where a crime scene (complete with a fresh corpse) has been orchestrated by their FBI instructors. Video equipment in each area captures the action so the uptight Professor Tompkins (Michael Shanks) can view and critique the proceedings. Unbeknown to the students and Tompkins, the former prison was used for illegal biological testing during which the life-term »

Director: Lowell Dean. Writer: Christian Piers Betley. Cast: Katharine Isabelle, Brendan Fehr, Brendan Fletcher and Nick Moran. 13 Eerie is a zombie thriller. This title was filmed in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, in an abandoned animal park. The setting is appropriately isolated. The acting is equally well done. Yet, 13 Eerie follows a few horror formulas, which offer only a few shocks. 13 Eerie still manages to be an entertaining time, despite some drawbacks. The story involves several forensic students. They are tasked by their teacher and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to examine several corpses on a body farm. They gather evidence and document their findings. But then, the bodies start moving. The students must now find a way off the island, before the corpses dine on them. The undead are especially ferocious in this piece And the characters are believable. Katharine Isabelle (American Mary) delivers a compelling performance as Megan. Megan is a fighter and. »

The Mr Selfridge actor and director of The Kid talks about his family
I went back recently to my old council estate in South Oxhey, where all these poky tin houses are identical, and you start seeing your childhood through your parents' eyes because you realise what it must have been like for them to bring up a family in that environment. There are lot of good people there but those estates are purpose-built and there's no interaction between that estate and any of the very nice surrounding areas. There's one road on and one road off and the school was built within the estate, so that the kids don't infect the surrounding areas.
There was a lot of frustration in our family growing up but, generally speaking, we were happy. My mum had a son from her first marriage and lost custody of him so I didn't see much of him growing up. »
