Overview

Mum and Dad, and their 'adopted' children, Birdie & Elbie, work at the airport. The family live off whatever they scavenge from cargo holds, offices and hotels - including a steady stream of transient workers who populate the airport's soulless hub. When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner, is befriended by Birdie, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder and perversity.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grimy, suffocating descent into the nightmare world of a predatory family operating in the industrial wasteland of an airport. This is horror that feels trapped and hopeless, rooted in real spatial dread rather than supernatural scares.
