Unhappy Birthday is written & directed by Mark Harriott & Mike Matthews, the film stars, David Paisley, Christina De Vallee, Jill Riddiford, Jonathan Keane and David McGillivray.

Synopsis: “A special birthday party becomes a living nightmare for city-dwelling couple Sadie and Rick and their friend Jonny. They are invited to visit the remote tidal island of Amen by Corinne – an enigmatic local who professes to hold answers to long-buried family secrets.

The island is populated by a historically close-knit community who discourage strangers from visiting. So why have these three outsiders been allowed on? The mysterious family connection with the island brings horrific consequences as they find themselves trapped by the tide and at the mercy of the islanders.

They say that blood is thicker than water, but when two worlds with opposing values clash, these visitors will wish they’d never been born.”
