| Overview: | A furiously original meld of madness and pathos, "The Living And The Dead" is family dysfunction at its most shocking and grotesque.
With bankruptcy looming, desperate Donald Brocklebank (Roger Lloyd-Pack, "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire") must leave his bedridden wife alone with their son James--a schizophrenic man-child. In a horrific fit of dementia, James abandons his medication, locks the doors, and plays nurse. As his ability to distinguish morbid fantasy from reality decays, he plunges into a mental labyrinth so violent and deranged none of them may survive it.
