Surrey director's debut feature, Last Passenger, released on DVD

Having interviewed fellow Guidfordian Omid Nooshin when his debut feature-length film, Last Passenger, was released in cinemas late last year, I was excited when I heard I wouldn't have to wait long for the DVD.

Released on Monday (January 27), the film tells the story of doctor and father, Lewis, (Dougray Scott - My Week With Marilyn, Mission: Impossible 2) who jumps on the last train leaving London with his son, Max (Joshua Kaynama).

Striking up a relationship with the flirty and beautiful Sarah - played by Kara Tointon of Eastenders fame - he soon realises this is going to be a journey to remember, but for all the wrong reasons.

In the abandoned carriages, Lewis and five other remaining passengers end up on a ride of a lifetime as the old-fashioned slam-door train - hijacked by a vengeful sociopath - hurtles relentlessly down the track.

Omid told me his inspiration for the film came while he was travelling on a train from Waterloo to Guildford, however, in the film, the train is travelling towards Tunbridge Wells - another familiar place to me having been brought up there. 

Last Passenger is released on DVD (£14.99) and Blu-ray (£15.99) on Monday, January 27, certificate 15.
