Horror: People start to disappear couple of mates escape this. Mutants start to appear and continue to create more of them through infection in wounds. The two have to fight their way out and escape to a rumoured utopia (doean't exsist). They die in the end, UK taken over by mutants, mutants continue to increase in to the world.

Gangster (Guy Ritchie): Drug Dealer gets in trouble with supplye, suppler angery with dealer, tells him he's got 48 hours to get all his money bac, which the dealer lost it all in a poke game with the local backstreet guy's but can't sell drugs to get it back, or the supplyer will kill him in a weird way. Plans to rob ban, gets a bunch of his mates to help, successful bank robbery but screw up alot while doing it. But they get mugged by dealers frin the other side of town and he gets killed along with his mates by the supplyer.

*Gangster Horror: A dead gangleader died a year ago, left behind by his gang. One of the gang members talks of a curse which say's one by one the gangleader will seek his revenge on the people that left him behind. That night a black fiugure appears and slaughters one of the men in a very horrific way. Found in morning. Curse seen as coming true, other gang members take precourtions but al end up slaughtered in horrific way's like in saw films. Mystery comes from if its really a curse or someone doing it. loads of enigma's through out the film. reveals murderer near end but he gets killed in a horrific way but no-one is their doing this. or so you think??
*This will be my idea for the teaser trailor.
