In the witty and daringly original contemporary thriller BEAUTIFUL CREATURES set in Glasgow, Scotland, Dorothy (Susan Lynch) and Petula (Rachel Weisz) are two women with one thing in common – they both have rotten taste in men. After a dangerous encounter with her boyfriend Tony (Iain Glenn), Dorothy decides to leave town with her faithful dog, when she happens on Petula, who is being beaten by her equally volatile beau Brian (Tom Mannion). Springing to Petula’s defence, Dorothy accidentally kills Brian.

Panicked, the two women hatch a dangerous and bizarrely hilarious scheme to convince Brian’s menacing older brother Ronnie (Maurice Roeves) that he has been kidnapped. Their bold-faced plan runs awry however, when the corrupt and leering Detective Inspector Hepburn (Alex Norton) shows up. Hepburn has a plan of his own, which includes collecting part of the ransom money and, perhaps, Petula as well.

When Dorothy’s boyfriend Tony reappears and also wants in on the scam, the elaborate cat and mouse game comes to a head.

Three dangerous men. Two beautiful women.

These poor guys. They don’t stand a chance. [More]
