The city is quiet; the streets, deserted. It doesn’t much feel like Halloween, and yet four young trick-or-treaters – a Ghost, a Devil, a Grim Reaper and a Witch – make their way through the night, door to door and house by house, gathering up an unlikely harvest of kindness amid the devastated wreckage of society’s collapse.

In a world where the only rule is that there are no rules anymore, it is perhaps a fitting irony that it should all come down to this… a
simple choice between two starkly different options.

The Last Halloween is here at last, and the time has come to make your choice.

So, what will it be?

Trick? Or treat?

Four trick-or-treaters make their way through the night amid the wreckage of society's collapse.

Channeling the great tradition of Shakespearean villain monologues, HANG UP! aims to transport the morbidly intriguing trope of villain asides and speeches of treacherous intent to the modern world by way of our most pervasive and ubiquitous tool; the cell phone. By substituting the stage and the breaking of the fourth wall with a simple accidental butt dial, HANG UP! drags an unsuspecting husband (Robert Nolan) into a secretive and increasingly morbid conversation which aims to rival the dastardly thoughts and machinations of some of Shakespeare's most boastful and long winded villains including Macbeth, Richard The 3rd and Iago. 

The film also serves as an exploration of the anxieties and fears of the modern marriage and operates as a kind or waking nightmare where the unsuspecting spouses deepest paranoia flowers to a fever pitch. Lastly, the film can be taken as literal dark drama where one man's curiosity and inability to HANG UP! drags him further down a hellish rabbit hole.

An accidental butt dial provides a curious husband an unexpected glimpse
into the mind of his loving wife.
