After a zombie apocalypse spreads from a London prison, the UK is brought to its knees. The spread of the virus is temporarily contained but, without a cure, it’s only a matter of time before it breaks its boundaries and the biggest problem of all… any zombies with combat skills are now enhanced.

With the South East of England quarantined from the rest of the world using fortified borders, intelligence finds that the scientist responsible for the outbreak is alive and well in London. With his recovery being the only hope of a cure, a squad of eight Special Forces soldiers is sent on a suicide mission to the city, now ruled by the undead, with a single task: get him out alive within 72 hours by any means necessary. What emerges is an unlikely pairing on a course to save humanity against ever-rising odds.

We’ve been following Chee since this film was only an idea and one thing we’ve learned - there’s no one else in the UK directing like him. If he wants to amp up a fight scene to the max - he’ll bring it out in his cast one fast blow by dirtier blow. If he needs a wasteland filled with actual tanks and helicopters he’ll make that raw war scene actually happen. Shoot in a deserted central London? No problem. Over 1500 zombie extras vs a CGI horde? They’re actually there!

Chee Keong Cheung is the next great action horror director to watch and fabulously he’s making his so real it hurts Hollywood style epics here in the UK.

Redcon-1 has been nominated for Best Action, Best Thriller and Best Screenplay at the 2019 National Film Awards UK.

“There’s not many people out there that can pull off what Chee can pull off... he’s truly, truly gifted with amazing instincts as a filmmaker and his visual storytelling in Redcon-1 is absolutely stunning!” George C. Romero (son of the legendary George A. Romero)
