The politically inspired horror Election Night is set to premiere on Prime Video and VOD on the sixth anniversary of the Brexit vote, today.
The award-winning film from director Neil Monaghan centers on a society where the public is disillusioned with traditional politicians and the “Establishment”. Many believe in new optimistic rhetoric from a fictitious firebrand socialist party, the Progressive Social Alliance. Others put their faith in a new populist far-right movement, the New Britain Party, headed by former newspaper baron Dominic Drummond (Bruce Payne). Five friends gather to watch the TV coverage as the election results pour in. It’s a drink-fueled night that should be a massive celebration of victory. But outside, far-right NBP supporters are rioting and claiming a rigged the election. Three people desperately seek shelter from the violence and knock on the door as the police lose control.
