Will, an insecure young man, struggles to adapt to his new life after waking up from a coma. Upon returning home, he must fight his estranged father, Richard, in order to be able to see his seemingly absent mother, and uncover the true consequences of his past actions. Richard, however, is in denial, stuck in the past, and desperate to hold on to what once was – with deadly consequences.
Cerebrum is what many would call a slow burn of a horror film. At first, beyond Will’s visions of his dead mother, there’s nothing really horrific about writer-director Sebastien Blanc’s film. It starts off exploring the relationship between father and son, how the accident affected that relationship, and how the pair’s relationship has changed after not only the change in Will struggling...

Race, adoption, guilt and resentment are threaded through this Jordan Peele-influenced tale of a son returning home after a mysterious accident to discover his mother is absent
The influence of Jordan Peele’s mighty Get Out lingers behind this enigmatic British sci-fi horror, with its stricken black hero, while white folk get up to insane things in basements; thanks to the often frontal framing, there is something in the visual style too. The difference is that race is an unspoken subtext here, completely submerged somewhere inside the atmosphere of dissociated trauma.
Tobi King Bakare plays William, adopted child of Richard (Sightseers’ Steve Oram), who emerges wheelchair-bound and mute from a coma after an unspecified accident. He returns home to complete his physical and mental recovery, afflicted by white-hot flashbacks to speeding roads. His dad seems doting and solicitous, but is disturbingly evasive about his mother Amelia (Ramona Von Pusch); she is also convalescing,...

We still know very little about comas – why they happen and what goes on during them. What we do know points to the idea that they allow time for the brain to heal following traumatic damage which usually has a clear physical cause but can sometimes be wholly or partially psychiatric. When Will (Tobi King Bakare) wakes up in hospital, he’s dealing with elements of both. He has very little memory of the car crash which put him there. He’s been out for so long that his muscles have weakened and he finds it difficult to stay on his feet. He’s also unable to speak.
At a time like this, it might seem like quite an advantage to have a neurosurgeon for a father. This is Richard (Steve Oram), who takes him home with the help of a wheelchair, shows him into a room which he has set up downstairs.

Centring on the troubled relationship between a father and son, Sebastien Blanc’s feature début Cerebrum, which is screening as part of Frightfest 2022, deals with themes around loss, guilt and the lengths that people will go to to try and hang on to those they love. Tobi King Bakare plays William, a young man struggling to regain both his physical abilities and his memory after waking from a coma, whilst Richard, the father who is looking after him and struggling to find the right moment to break the news of his mother’s death, is played by Steve Oram, one of the UK’s most distinctive actors and a man frequently seen in genre film. Ahead of the festival, Steve and I connected for a chat and began by talking about his approach to choosing roles.
“I've done leading roles,” he says, “but a lot of it comes down to.

Exclusive: Dennis the Menace is getting another shot at the small screen after Beano Studios started developing a YA adaptation of the classic British comic book character (not to be confused with the Hank Ketcham U.S. character).
Deadline understands that the British company is pitching a live-action series based on the DC Thomson-owned IP with Matthew Barry, a writer on Netflix’s Greg Berlanti-produced Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, having written the script.
We hear that the company is in talks in the U.S. and UK and has held discussions with a series of U.S. studio partners to come on board the project.
The tone of the pilot script is understood to be much darker than the original with Dennis believed to be a teenager, around the age of 16, and flitting in and out of trouble with the police. One source told Deadline that the remake has...
