The award-winning Armageddon Gospels is a folk horror feature film that explores Brexit through the lens of British folk-tales and mythology. The film was released on Apple TV in the UK, the USA, and Canada on Halloween, October 31st, 2019. The date of the British deadline for Brexit, which now again has been extended to the 31st of January 2020.
Written and directed by John Harrigan, Armageddon Gospels explores the cataclysmic effects of Brexit on the British landscape, a historic event that has sent reasonable people mad and turned neighbor against neighbor, shaking the foundations of what it means to be British.
The tale is centered around refugee gods, transposed to flesh and blood, who are washed ashore to rouse the myths of ancient England, half-drowned in a forgotten past. They disperse through shifting realities to awaken the giant Albion and find the holy grail in a ritual to save England from the rot of darkness and hatred that’s strangling its soul.
