Bad Wiring

BAD WIRING
A dark British urban horror with military roots. Stark. Gritty. Unforgiving.

He survived the war. But something followed him home.

Mutt came back broken. No medals. No welcome parade. Just discharge papers, phantom pain, and the kind of silence the government excels at. No support. No answers. Just a whispered suggestion: "Start over."

But how do you start over when your past is classified and your nightmares walk on two legs?

Now back in a forgotten part of Britain - all tower blocks, shuttered pubs and hollow promises - something festers. People are vanishing. Surveillance fails. Reports get buried. The official line? There's nothing there.

But Mutt knows better. He's seen monsters before. The ones in the dark - and the ones in command.

Haunted by his past and hunted by something worse, Mutt doesn't want redemption. He wants to stop the rot. With nothing but a knife, a fractured mind, and a blood-stained ledger of the dead, he walks into the cracks of a society that pretends he doesn't exist.

No backup. No extraction. Just a fading sense of duty and the names of those who never came back.

Because the war didn't end.

It just came home wearing a different face.



Bad Wiring is a visceral descent into the underbelly of modern Britain - a place where the forgotten are fed to the dark, and those who ask questions disappear.

Blending the psychological weight of PTSD with supernatural dread, this is horror grounded in reality - a brutal meditation on what happens when those we send to fight are left to rot, and when the institutions built to protect us become complicit in feeding the very thing they're meant to stop.

This is not a story of heroes.
It's a story of scars. Of silence. Of making sure the next poor soul doesn't vanish unnoticed.

If you're drawn to:
• Raw, character-driven horror with military grit
• Stories where trauma leaves marks no one can see
• Broken systems, hidden truths, and monsters that wear lanyards and smiles...

Then Bad Wiring is your next descent.
