Thanks to BD reader ‘Johan B,’ for tipping us off to the first info on Danny’s Doomsday, from the company behind When Animals Dream, as well as Miso Film.
For sales at the ongoing Cannes market, Martin Barnewitz directs the Danish horror starring William Jønk Nielsen, Thomas Garvey, Peter Gantzler and Lars Mikkelsen.
“Due to climate change a new race of flesh eating predators arise, who invade and eat everything living on earth. In a residential neighborhood in a Danish suburb nightmare like scenes are being experienced first hand through the eyes of two teenage brothers, who can’t stand each other, but are now suddenly forced to barricade themselves in the basement together, to avoid getting eaten. From one day to another, without parents and without electricity, food, water and contact to other people, the brothers have to learn to live together in their vital protection bunker, while monsters move past the basement windows and heavy, sharp claws can be heard moving around upstairs on the wooden floors.“
This is the second third feature by Martin Barnewitz who made his feature debut with Room 205 (2007). He also won Best Short Film Award at Mannheim-Heidelberg for his psychological thriller “Glimt af mørke” (2004).
