APOCALYPSE
Steven, an unsuspecting member of the public, is given a second chance at life when Derren has him believe that a meteor has hit the earth. Part One sees Steven’s home wired with hidden cameras, his news sources manipulated to warn of the impending collision, and his family members all playing their part. Part Two follows his journey through a post-Apocalyptic, zombie-infested world, in search of his family with the help of a small group of friends (played by meticulously rehearsed actors who are able to guide his journey).
Highly moving and utterly outrageous, Derren Brown: Apocalypse remains the most ambitious hidden-camera project ever filmed.
“Though a fan of his creepy oeuvre I am now pretty convinced that Brown is an emissary of the dark side. The man could probably swing an election if he put his mind to it. Come to think of it maybe he already has…”
