Forged in 1998 by Emma Malin & David Parker, No Redeeming Features is a genre-bending, award-snagging film & theatre house that doesn’t play by the rules. Our playground? The shadows. Our muse? Fear.

Rot in Motion

This isn’t art. This is rot in motion.
We don’t chase clout. We chase discomfort. Dread.
That stomach-turning moment when the lights go out and something knows your name.

Award-Winning Darkness

No Redeeming Features is an award-winning horror collective masquerading as a film and theatre company.
Born in the dark. Still there.

Our Debut: A Blood Offering

1999. The Foundry Horror Fest. A trilogy of short films dropped like a black plague.
2001. The Modernista conquered the 48 Hour Film Challenge, carved from the corpses of sleep-deprived competitors.
Same year? Fringe Report’s Film of the Year. Of course it was.

Street-Level Horror

What The Dickens? – Two years of street theatre soaked in the bones of Charles Dickens, mutilated with a gothic twist no one saw coming.
With Page Mason School of Dance & Drama, we turned cobblestone into a killing floor.

From Stage to Shadows

We toured the UK like a disease. Our live Rocky Horror shadow-cast show infected town after trembling town.
At Notting Hill Carnival, we hijacked Talbot Road for 17 years—building a stage where joy came to die and spectacle came to scream.

Masks. Luxury. Leather.

We launched Claremont—because even monsters love the scent of new skin.
Then joined Mark Rein Hagen to script and co-produce the teaser for I Am Zombie. It’s not a game. It’s a warning.

Possession, Not Production

This isn’t a company. This is a possession.
We don’t do safe. We don’t do catharsis. We don’t do redeeming.
We are the thing in the corner of your eye, the voice under the floorboards, the whisper that says: make it worse.

Final Message

NO REDEEMING FEATURES
You didn’t survive.
You were chosen.
Beautiful nightmares. Violent truths.
