4. Life Support

Baby Gulliver is in the hospital and Rose uses the last of her energy to get to him. Stars Alexandra Mardell.

Gulliver is in the hospital and Rose wants to know why. There is danger everywhere and she must protect him.

18-year-old Rose has come from Whitby to Manhattan to work as a nanny to a glittering but secretive family. She's not like the other girls. And Gulliver is no ordinary baby. This is a world not just of champagne, but shadows, where all is definitely not as it seems.

Stylish and surprising fantasy horror with a comic twist, starring Alexandra Mardell (Coronation Street) and Demetri Goritsas (Ten Percent). With music by Dana Margolin and Sam Yardley of Mercury-nominated band, Porridge Radio.
