Synopsis:

Meet Dave. Dave is stuck in a maze. A maze he made. Out of cardboard. In his living room…

While his girlfriend Annie is out of town, Dave decides to build a fort in his living room from cardboard boxes only to become trapped in a world that he himself created.

It’s up to Annie and an oddball group of friends to rescue him, avoiding booby traps, giant human-eating Tiki faces, a bloodthirsty minotaur and fatally painful puns along the way.

We like it because:

Imagine Michel Gondry and Tim Burton given unlimited cardboard, sellotape and a film camera, and you’re somewhere close to getting this dazzlingly original, Saturn Award-winning horror comedy from debut director Bill Watterson.

A cult classic in the making, this brilliantly realised homage to fantasy adventure films from the 1980’s features incredible and imaginative production design, that literally takes you out of this world, and into the chaotic and creative mind of Bill Watterson. Described by Nerdist as “a homemade Labyrinth for adults”, this critically-acclaimed indie gem offers a modern comedic edge and an even higher body count.

With a smattering of quirky comedy film stalwarts among the cast, including American Splendor’s James Urbaniak and Groundhog Day’s Rick Overton, a mad music score from Mondo Boys (The Girlfriend Experience) and an opening credits’ song from the UK’s own The Equals, sparklingly witty dialogue, and a truly demented premise, this might be the world’s first fully recyclable cardboard horror comedy - you’ll want to watch it over and over again!

Come and get lost in Dave’s amazing maze – you won’t want to leave, and you probably can’t anyway.
