Eat Locals

In the quaint English village of Eldermoor, life seems perfectly ordinary until a mysterious gathering disrupts the calm. “Eat Locals” follows a group of close-knit friends who meet annually to indulge in a feast, celebrating the end of summer with locally-sourced delicacies. This year, however, their potluck takes a dark turn when their jovial banter reveals a long-buried secret: there are rumors of a predatory cult that has been targeting the village’s residents, vanishing them without a trace.

As the friends enjoy their meal, eerie coincidences and strange occurrences make them question what they are truly eating. They soon uncover that the local butcher, a charming yet enigmatic figure named Graham, might be connected to the disappearances. Driven by both curiosity and fear, they start digging into Eldermoor’s sinister history, revealing a centuries-old myth about the community’s insatiable need for sacrifice in exchange for prosperity.

The ensemble cast is led by Mia, a spirited food blogger seeking inspiration for her next article; Tom, the skeptical journalist who feels a story brewing; Sarah, the nurturing chef who is determined to save her family’s restaurant; and Liam, the local historian obsessed with the village’s folklore. As the night deepens, their lighthearted reunion spirals into paranoia, fractured relationships, and life-or-death decisions.

With each dish served, tension builds, revealing the complexities of friendships and the moral dilemmas of survival. Themes of trust, betrayal, and the primal instinct to protect loved ones come to the forefront as the friends grapple with their own hidden desires and fears.
