​
Manchester, the present. Michael divides his time between the job center and the pub. A chance meeting with Lee, an introduction to her ‘Uncle’ Ian, and a heavy night on the lash lead to a job working the door at a Northern Quarter massage parlour.
​
After witnessing the violent death of one of the ‘punts’, Michael experiences blood-drenched flashbacks and feels himself being sucked into a twilight world that he doesn’t understand but that is irresistibly attractive. When he eventually finds out what goes on in the room below Cloud 9, Michael’s life will never be the same again.

“Habit: blend of family drama and neon Clive Barker grue that makes excellent use of its Manchester setting”. Jonathan Hatfull, Sci-Fi Now
"It’s almost a British answer to From Dusk Till Dawn, and it pulls the rug with equal relish”. Quay News
​
"Habit is more than just a straightforward horror movie - it is about the search to belong in a world where 'normal' is impossible to define, and what must be compromised in the process of finding your own happiness...." Revue-avenue

HABIT won best screenplay and best feature at the NEW YORK CITY HORROR FILM FESTIVAL 2017.
