Murder Bury Win

Following a failed crowd-funding attempt to launch their horror-themed board game, three friends are excited to be invited to meet with V.V.Stubbs, a famous games designer who has promised to invest in their idea. When Stubbs dies in a freak accident they realise how much it looks like murder. With a dead body on their hands, they turn to the game they created to get rid of the body but can they really ‘Murder Bury Win’? Michael Lovan’s debut feature is bloody good fun and a perfect addition to Night of the Dead. Screening with Good Girl (Dean Hewison, New Zealand, 2021, 4 mins).

‘The screenplay is something that I wrote by myself, but the story I could not have done without my best friend, John [Hart], who I grew up playing board games with. And when it was time to make a film, I just knew that now is the time. We sat in a room every day for hours, going through all of the different configurations of things that we want to see and don’t want to see in a film. And we also looked back to our history of playing board games, and what the best board games have in common – at least the ones that are story based – and that’s the element of surprise.’
