Behind the kind eyes of a gentle, unassuming fellow... lies the depraved delusions of a lunatic. LAY DOWN AND ROT  will put a face to the pernicious musings of a sordid internet creep. Based on a real story from the now banned subreddit r/incel, the film explores ownership in a digital world. Follow this detestable chap, as reality collides with fantasy in the search for love.

​

Lay Down and Rot confronts the uncomfortable truth of male loneliness in the digital age. One such case is Jason, a bitter young man emboldened by the especially malignant brand of nihilism found only in the seediest corners of online forums. Hidden in plain sight, their crude ideology is characterised by a rejection of modernity, a defeatist attitude and an unwavering disdain for women. Journey into the mind of this 20-something curmudgeon as he attempt to find an unfortunate mate.
