Marc (Tom Bateman) and Fred (Sean Teale) return to bait the owner (Paul McGann) of a remote Christian B&B who they had successfully sued him for not allowing them to share a bed. Events take a deadly turn when another guest arrives, who they think might have something sinister in mind. A smart, brutally funny and dark thriller.
“I wanted to do a thriller in the Hitchcock vein but with gay characters making the wrong choices and getting terrified out of their wits. B&B goes beyond the gay relationship movie. It’s a thriller with a married couple at the centre, something I haven’t seen before,” says writer/director Joe Ahearne.
The couple is played by Tom Bateman (Kenneth Branagh’s Murder On The Orient Express, Amy Schumer’s Snatched) and Sean Teale (Bryan Singer’s Gifted, Ben Affleck’s Incorporated), and the B&B owner is played by Paul McGann (Withnail & I, Doctor Who).

Director of Photography Nick Dance;Production Designer Iain Andrews; Editor Graham Walker; Music Dan Jones andSimon Birch; Executive Producers Jon Finn, Richard Holmes, Ricky Margolis,Simon Graham-Clare and Hannah Thomas; Co-Producer Isabelle Georgeaux.
