Psychopaths Anonymous
Dir. Adam Hales-Walker

The film takes place in a community hall as a monthly support group meet to share their progress and how they have been coping with their addictions. The group now comprises of three people: Matthew, Jamie and Sylvia. We soon discover through each of their flashbacks that they all share an unfavourable manner of dispatching from this world any rude person they come into contact with. Matthew, clearly the host of the group and seemingly only one with any semblance of remorse, spends the entire meeting trying to convince the other two to quit their murderous predilections and become respectable members of society. But will he manage to change their ways or will their stubbornness force him to revert back to old habits?
