The Gate
England
A new virulent strain of rabies is thought to be responsible for a number of horrible deaths in the city of London.

They appear to have no known biological function... until now. A creepy sci-fi tale written and directed by Matt Westrup. Principal cast: John Mawson, Robert Rowe, Jonathan Andrews, Andelys Tomlinson and Elle Lewis.
