William Brown, a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad. Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla.

Set in a retro-futuristic world where severed human heads can live independent from their bodies, HEADS is a horror fantasy adventure following two women as they fight to reclaim their bodily autonomy against a grotesque backdrop of corporate greed and societal inequality. Written and created in the North West, the film’s visual identity draws heavily on Manchester’s industrial heritage, so the region is a natural home for its development and production. With a projected delivery date of 2029, HEADS is expected to become one of the largest stop-motion features ever developed in Greater Manchester, with the potential to engage craftspeople and creatives from across the region.

Meeting new people is hard, and sometimes making eye contact is only the beginning of the horror.
