From award winning writer / director Paul Andrew Williams (LONDON TO BRIGHTON and THE COTTAGE), CHERRY TREE LANE is an authentic British horror about a vicious clash of two utterly opposed cultures. Christine and Mike are normal parents living in a semi-detached house on suburban street CHERRY TREE LANE. They don’t realise it, but a desperate and terrible situation is just minutes away. They sit and eat their evening meal, discussing the day’s events at work. Christine answers the door to a group of three teenage boys asking after her son Sebastian for a kick around. Telling them he is out, she closes the door and returns to her meal. The door goes again. This time, as Christine opens the latch, a sudden unexpected attack leads to a terrifying house invasion. Striking at the heart of the deepest suburban fears and played out in real time, CHERRY TREE LANE explores what happens when a living nightmare bursts into the home you assumed was safe.
