When a sheltered and unsocialized young man is tasked with making new friends after the sudden and devastating death of his mother, he decides that digging a few up (literally) might be his best bet in the (soon-to-be) cult classic horror-comedy The Loneliest Boy in the World.

The film stars Max Harwood (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After franchise, The Woman King), Susan Wokoma (Enola Holmes), Evan Ross (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2), Tallulah Haddon (The Last Duel), Hammed Animashaun (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Sam Coleman (Leatherface), Ashley Benson (Spring Breakers, “Pretty Little Liars”), and Ben Miller (”Bridgerton”).

The Loneliest Boy in the World is billed as a modern fairytale—except with zombies. When the sheltered and unsocialized Oliver is tasked with making new friends after the sudden and devastating death of his mother, he decides that digging a few up (literally) might be his best bet. However, when he awakens the morning after his excavating escapades, he discovers that his newly acquired friends have mysteriously come to life overnight, launching them all into a series of misadventures as they try to keep their secret safe from neighbors, classmates and social workers alike.
