Macbeth

A “Ugly Films” FILM
WRITTEN BY Richard Green / William Shakespeare

Driven by his wife, Johnny Macbeth succeeds in business through killing off the owner of a large corporation, Duncan King. King’s two sons, appearing guilty of the deed, flee – leaving Macbeth to manipulate his way into taking ownership of the company.

His strength is drawn from three escorts who predict his rise to power. Their sexually charged, magical ways inspire him on. Set mostly in their workplace, The Coven, the strip club operated by Lady, (Macbeth’s wife) the environment of drugs, black arts and sex seduces him further onto the path towards destruction.

Macduff, his colleague, challenges Macbeth’s leadership as she realizes his descent into unprecedented murder and decadence. After her family is killed at Macbeth’s orders, Macduff flees to aid King’s sons to return and challenge Macbeth for the ownership. In the final showdown will evil triumph over good?

Fair is foul and foul is fair.

A timeless tale of greed, power, corruption and depravity, this adaptation of Shakespeare’s play is a modern interpretation of a classic that would have put any Trarintino story to shame - even 400 years ago.
