YouTube links for episodes 10 and 11 are soon going to be posted. Just hang on.
 
Episode 9

Another hot and creepy ep! Necro and Lilith are making a great mortal/immortal couple - though I hope she bites him. Soon. :D
 
Episode 8

YouTube quality sucks like hell, doesn't it? But the music's good, isn't it? :D
 
Exclusive video clips added. Now you can have a glimpse at some of our villain vamps, including Faustino, Nikolai and Melech. Also, Ed's sidekick Necro tells about himself and we see a little action between Lilith and Necro, too.
 
Episode 6

YouTube version. 7th episode is available on MySpace, and the 8th will be posted next Monday.
 
I agree, the music is pretty awesome and the soundtrack is just mind-blowing... but hey, you don't have to watch it via MySpace, you can also check it out from YouTube:

Episode 1

Episode 2

Episode 3

Episode 4

Episode 5

Though MySpace has better quality and is ahead with one more episode, which is the sixth one and the next episode will be posted this Wednesday, and that'll be the seventh. I keep updating this YouTube list, though, as the person uploads more - I asked him is he going to upload all 20 episodes as they appear and I received a positive response; so if you don't have MySpace access, don't worry, it's not necessary and you can still watch the eps!
 
Just watched one of the trailers and it does look really good! The music was great, it reminded me of Blade's.

I don't have a My Space account (heh, I know) but my niece does so maybe I could watch a few episodes.
 
BTR is definitely worth checking out - I seriously recommend everyone to watch the episodes, even if you wouldn't like the vampire genre that much. The directing is amazing, very detailed and delicate and intense. All the actors are doing a great job portraying and developing their characters and the whole spirit of this movie is just stunning. The story is bloody, scary, humorous and addictive. This is the kind of production you don't wanna miss... Beyond the Rave has all my good graces! I love it. :love:
 
Wow, thanks for this thread! I admit I haven't heard of this but now I'm very curious. Thanks for the promo links, I'll check them out!

I will keep an eye out for the DVD!

Episode Catch-ups​

Ep 1: Soldier Ed Hargest is dreaming he’s on night manoeuvres in the English countryside and is separated from his squad. Donning night-vision goggles he follows a shadowy figure deep into the woods, where he finds it crouched over his girlfriend, biting into her neck. Ed opens fire but the figure – now revealed as a vampire – turns and advances on him.

In a military hospital in Iraq, Ed lies unconscious. An army psychiatrist reveals that he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. We learn that Ed stormed an enemy stronghold single-handed – killed everyone and planted the regimental flag. A visiting Scotland Yard detective is keen to interview Ed about his role in horrific events that took place in his home town before he went to war.

ONE MONTH EARLIER: We join Ed in his army barracks, where he’s briefed on his deployment to Iraq. His regiment has been given sixteen hours compassionate leave before they ship out in the morning.

Ed’s civvie best mate Necro arrives in his undertaker father’s hearse to take them to the rave. Ed’s army mate rips the piss out of [colloq. teases] Necro for being such a cheesy quaver [colloq. idiot].

Ep 2: A mysterious army truck with blacked-out windows drives into town. In the back of the truck is a terrified girl – bound and gagged.

Ed is worried that his girlfriend Jen hasn’t come to meet him. What’s worse is she hasn’t been in touch for a few days. After all – it is his last night before going off to war.

Having promised Ed a rave it now looks like Necro has messed up and doesn’t know where it is, but the plot thickens when Necro claims that if they find the rave they’ll find Jen.

Necro asks Ed if he remembers last Friday when Ed blew Jen out. Necro then explains how Jen wanted to come raving with him and how she insisted on taking her first pill… how he went outside and met an extraordinary girl, a stranger from out of town called Lilith… how he was so wrapped up in her that he lost track of Jen, who he half remembers on the dance floor… kissing DJ Melech, who we recognise as the driver of the mysterious army truck.

Back in the hearse Ed accuses Necro of being disloyal.

Necro explains how he woke up in the morning with ‘FBP’ written on his stomach in indelible marker.

Ed is still freaked that Jen is missing. As Ed tries to call her, we see her climb over a gate and make her way into remote woodland.

Ep 3: Ed loses it. No girlfriend, no party, no weed. So Necro puts in a call to local dealers the Crockers who are gambling over a golf drive. Terry tells Necro to call back later. Rich and Terry lift a bound and gagged man from the boot of their car and dump him by the side of the road.

The sun sets.

Out at his pirate radio tower, DJ Black Cat is desperate to discover where tonight’s party is at.

Just as he’s tearing out his hair, his luck turns in the shape of two oddballs called Belial and Strigoi who drop in through the hatch in the tower’s roof. They start to rack up enormous lines of coke.

The terrible twosome hijack the air waves while Black Cat’s heart beat goes through the roof. As thanks for the free publicity they gas him with nitrous then rip open his neck.

They are vampires.

Ep 4: Out at Mallard’s Pike – the rave’s secret location – Jen finds Melech, who takes her to meet the other miscreants as they set up the night’s entertainment.

As Jen meets the crew an angry farmer arrives and begins to complain – until Melech offers him a single gold coin.

Inside the rave warehouse, Melech explains the finer points of rave organisation to a smitten Jen.

As the farmer makes his way back through the dark woods he becomes aware of something following him.

Despite pleading for his life the darkness descends. Deep in the woods there is nothing but the night to hear his last breath.

Ep 5: Having taken a call from their mate Big Jim the Don Juan bouncer, who has told them that two of Melech’s crew are ogling their friend and part-time stripper Tina, Ed and Necro seize their chance to find tonight’s party and track down Jen.

Ed and Necro arrive too late as an altercation breaks out between Belial and Strigoi on the one side and Danny and Terry Crocker on the other, which spills out onto the street with the arrival of top Crocker, Rich.

Despite getting seven shades of **** kicked out of them [colloq. beaten up very badly], Belial and Strigoi appear to enjoy it. As Big Jim and his massive bouncer colleague see the Crockers off, Ed and Necro are as surprised as everyone else to discover that Belial and Strigoi appear to have disappeared into thin air.

Ep 6: Ed and Necro still don’t know where the rave is at and Ed is wigging out.

Now with Big Jim and Tina along for the ride, Ed and Necro stop at the British Legion, so Ed can visit his eccentric ex-army father.

Believing she is the reincarnation of his great lost love, Melech romances Jen at the rave warehouse.

Ed emerges from the Legion with a regimental flag, which his mad dad has given to him.

After Terry Crocker picks the short straw on the beer run, he is attacked by Belial and Strigoi. Belial holds the struggling Terry down while Strigoi incises ‘FBP’ into his chest with a claw-like fingernail.

Ep 7: With no word on the rave’s location and nothing else going on, the gang decide to head back to Tina’s and rack up some of the Crocker’s dirty gak [colloq. bad cocaine].

As Necro leans over the mirror, Ed sees the ‘FBP’ on Necro’s stomach reversed. It’s a radio frequency – 98.7! Tuning-in they hear Strigoi’s pre-recorded message broadcast from DJ Black Cat’s water tower, revealing the rave’s location.

Meanwhile, unable to grasp the meaning of his new tattoo, Terry answers the door to Pipsqueak Chav, who is working as messenger for local drugs overlord Mr Demisovski. Pipsqueak reminds the Crockers that they still owe his boss for their last supply of drugs – and the clock is ticking.

Terry persuades Pipsqueak to fess up [colloq. confess] the location of tonight’s rave in return for fifty quid and the Crockers head out to Mallard’s Pike. Rich instructs his gang to knock out the gak before they seek revenge on Belial and Strigoi.

Meanwhile addled raver Noddy gets lost in the woods. Something swoops down from the trees and drags him up into the canopy.

Ep 8: Joker in the vampire pack Faustino invites Ed and his friends into the party building.

As Necro and Lilith fall back into each other’s arms, Ed finds Jen and pulls her outside to demand why she’s been avoiding his calls.

Inside, Terry ignores Rich’s orders and steams into Belial and Strigoi. Rich is forced to intervene, but threatens to deal with Belial and Strigoi later.

Outside, Ed and Jen argue. Ed tells Jen that he’s leaving for Iraq in the morning.

Jen pleads with Ed to go AWOL and run away with her to her Aunt’s house on the Isle of Skye. Ed refuses, telling Jen that the army is in his blood.

Jen loses it with Ed and leaves to go back inside the party. Ed follows her and asks if she’s going to **** the DJ again, like she did last Friday night.

Jen turns on Ed and asks him what he got up to last Friday – the night he didn’t call her to tell her he was going to war… the night he went to Bristol with his ****wit [colloq. idiot] squaddie [colloq. soldier] mates… the night he ****ed a tart [colloq. prostitute].

She storms off, leaving Ed on his own.

Ep 9: The rave is in full swing. Ed runs into Faustino who offers him a strange red pill called ‘tarantula’ – a pill laced with the blood of the immortals.

While Big Jim prefers to stick to the bevies [colloq. beer] Ed throws caution to the wind and boshes it [colloq. takes the pill]. Big mistake!

Back in the rave the vampires start to move. Strigoi lures a hot brunette into a dance macabre. Nikolai emerges from the darkness with his eyes on Tina. Lilith shrugs off Faustino and continues to work her charms on a smitten Necro.

At the peek of his trip Ed hallucinates the voice of his sergeant ordering him to shoot an Iraqi girl.

Outside, Ed runs into a strange old man, Leopold, who welcomes Ed as a soldier and claims to be able to smell death on him.

Ed takes a monster hit on the ancient stoner’s hash pipe. As Ed leaves to find Jen, the Leopold quotes Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Raven.’

Ep 10: A bug-eyed idiot raver is bleeding the lizard [colloq. pissing] when vampire babes Anais and Lucretia drop in to admire him.

Outside, two speed freaks bicker about some dope that one of them failed to buy for the other.

Sitting near by, Leopold instructs them to stop arguing, then invites them to partake of his stash through his mighty chillum.

Leopold explains that he’s been smoking for over seven hundred years. When the speed freaks ask him how he got so old he tells them – he’s a vampire. Deciding the old man is just too weird, the speed freaks run for it, but Leopold dispatches them so he can bleed them dry.

Episodes are released first on the Internet on MySpace in 4 x 20 clips then in one full DVD-release.​
