Dad's Dead

Dad's Dead is a seven-minute award winning film written and directed by Chris Shepherd, commissioned by animate!.

A new remastered HD version of the film was released for the first time in January 2015 to coincide with the completion of the 2016 sequel Johnno's Dead.

However, Johnno turns out to be a thoroughly obnoxious and violent person, frequently swindling, stealing, vandalizing property and generally committing antisocial acts.

He apparently enjoys cruelty to animals, throwing hamsters and cats off high-rise flats and bricking ducks.

At the end, the narrator's elderly mother is shown answering the door to her Meals on Wheels carer - who turns out to be Johnno, laughing nastily as he enters the old woman's home.
