SYNOPSIS: This film is guaranteed to set
your teeth On Edge. Based on the story by
renowned horror writer CHRISTOPHER FOWLER (Roofworld, Spanky, Soho Black)
On Edge tells the story of stroppy businessman, Thurlow, who goes to a
dentists without an appointment and is forced to wait. Fed up of waiting,
Thurlow wanders off, only to meet the enigmatic Doctor Matthews. Thurlow
gets more than he bargained for in the dental surgery, to the horror and
surprise of the receptionist, and the audience!
CAST: DOUG BRADLEY, who starred as 'Pinhead'
in the HELLRAISER series of movies, brings
the role of Doctor Matthews to life. Well-known actor CHARLEY BOORMAN
(star of John Boorman's THE EMERALD FOREST), who received praise for his
performance in the British feature THE BUNKER, plays Peter Thurlow. Newcomer
BETH MURRAY, plays The Receptionist. On Edge also features cameo appearances
by CHRISTOPHER FOWLER himself, and maverick feature director JUSTIN BALDWIN.
PRODUCTION: PANAVISION EUROPE supplied the
camera equipment, which enabled us to shoot Anamorphic (2.35:1 Ratio),
helping to make the film suitable to be attached to a theatrically released
feature (Columbia TriStar's I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU
DID LAST SUMMER). Rudolf Buitendach edited the film at THE CREATIVE
PARTNERSHIP. METROCOLOR, THE MOVING PICTURE COMPANY, MAGMASTERS and TRU-CUTS
handled post-production duties.
Prosthetics and Mechanical Effects were created by BOB KEEN at IMAGE EFFECTS
of Pinewood, whose credits include the Hellraiser series, Return Of The
Jedi, Alien, Nightbreed and Highlander. Cinematography is by BAFTA
Award Nominee ALAN STEWART, whose previous work includes the acclaimed
drama Holding On and the Tartan Shorts films. Music for the film is by
SELF DESTRUCTIVE NATURE (a band formed by Frazer Lee with PAUL DI'ANNO
guitarist PAULO TURIN), and DOOJ, formerly of THE JAZZ BUTCHER.
SCREENINGS: ON EDGE has screened at over
20 film festivals worldwide. Several TV channels including Canal Plus,
TF1, HBO South America, Film Four UK and Sci Fi Channel USA have screened
ON EDGE, the latter as part of CLIVE BARKER'S
Sci Fi EXPOSURE showcase. ON EDGE was distributed in UK cinemas by COLUMBIA

Frazer Lee is developing further projects with Doug Bradley, including
a horror feature film and graphic novel called URBANE, with artwork by
SHANE OAKLEY (Alan 'FROM HELL' Moore's LIMBO) and short films. Also in development are feature projects including CROWLEYMASS and
TIME IS A GHOST.
