Ravers is a 2018 British horror-comedy film directed by Bernhard Pucher and starring Natasha Henstridge, Olivier Richters, Georgia Hirst, Eve Connolly, and Manpreet Bambra. The movie is set in an abandoned warehouse in London, where an illegal rave is taking place. The partygoers are partying hard and taking a new drug called Hype that they believe will make them invincible. Little do they know that the drug has been spiked with a parasite that turns them into bloodthirsty monsters who attack anyone in their path.
The story follows Becky (Georgia Hirst), a journalist who is covering the party for her news outlet. She is accompanied by her boyfriend, Steve (Danny Kirrane), who is also an aspiring journalist. Along with them is Tom (Manpreet Bambra), a young raver who is trying to find his sister, who disappeared at the party. The party is also attended by drug dealer, L. A. Dave (Charley Palmer Rothwell), and his girlfriend, Harriet (Kamal Angelo Bolden), who are distributing the Hype drug.
The party starts off well, with everyone enjoying the music and taking the Hype drug. However, things take a turn for the worse when the spiked drug takes effect, and the partygoers turn into monsters. Becky, Steve, Tom, and a few others are the only ones left who are not infected. They must find a way to survive the night and escape the warehouse, which is now filled with bloodthirsty creatures.
As the night progresses, the group of survivors face many challenges, as well as some unexpected twists and turns. They must navigate through the maze-like warehouse, find a way to contact the outside world, and find a cure for the parasite infecting the ravers. They also must deal with L. A. Dave and Harriet, who are more concerned with making money than with their own safety.
One of the standouts in the movie is Georgia Hirst, who plays the strong-willed and resourceful Becky. She carries the film and is a pleasure to watch as she navigates her way through the chaos. The film also features some excellent practical effects, which add to the overall horror experience. The monsters are creepy and well-designed, and the action is well-executed and intense.
The movie also has a good blend of horror and comedy. There are moments of genuine tension and scares, but there are also some hilarious moments that break up the tension. The humor is well-done and not forced, and it adds to the overall enjoyment of the film.
Overall, Ravers is an entertaining horror-comedy that will satisfy fans of both genres. The performances are strong, the action is intense, and the humor is spot-on. It is a fun ride from start to finish and is sure to leave viewers satisfied.
