Attack of the Herbals is a 2010 Scottish horror comedy directed by David Keith[1] [2] [3] from a screenplay written by David Ryan Keith, Liam Matheson and Alisdair Cook.[4] It stars Calum Booth, Claire McCulloch, Steve Worsley, Richard Currie, and Liam Matheson.
The film is about a group of locals who try to save Lobster Cove, their sleepy village, from disruption caused by a plan to build a new supermarket complex.
Set in a small Scottish village named Lobster Cove, the local community is enraged when a retailer is granted permission to build their supermarket complex on a nature spot. A WW2 German crate is discovered washed up on shore and one of the group makes tea out of it.
Some of the local residents band together to create a herbal-tea cottage industry as a way to raise funds to fight the retailer. The tea proves incredibly popular and with its rejuvenating properties the elderly are finding a new lease of life. Unfortunately, there are side-effects.
Attack of the Herbals was filmed in and around Aberdeen, Scotland, on a single Canon 5D with follow focus.[5] Much of the film focuses on the Aberdeen harbour area.[6]
The music is by Leah Kardos,[7] who collaborated with David Keith on previous works, two short films called "Demonic" and "Dead Funny".[8]
Camelot Entertainment Group have gained distribution rights to Attack of the Herbals. Darknight Pictures, a division of Camelot Entertainment, confirmed they were to auction Attack of the Herbals at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.[9]
