Abandoned Dead

Richard returns to his home town of Matlock, Derbyshire, after serving in the British Army. Richard vows to take revenge on a group of drug dealers who horrifically abused his younger, mentally impaired brother Anthony. Richard antagonizes Herbie, one of the abusers, who does not recognise him at first. Herbie tells his fellow gang members Soz and Tuff about Richard's return, which agitates them. Richard terrorises an inebriated Herbie while wearing a gas mask. While the three go out to confront him, Richard discreetly ransacks the flat and steals their drugs. Sonny, Big Al and Gypsy John are similarly terrorised during the night. The men encounter Richard, who threateningly invites them to come to the farm where he is staying. That evening, while Sonny and the others make plans, Richard slyly bludgeons John to death. The next morning, the gang go to the farm where Richard is staying with Anthony. Sending in Al to draw Richard out, Sonny attempts to shoot Richard but he misses and kills Al. With no rounds remaining in the rifle, they retreat. The car breaks down and Tuff runs away in a panic. At Sonny's house, the remaining three unwittingly ingest the drugs Richard had stolen and become highly intoxicated. Richard torments and executes Sonny and Soz. He reveals to Herbie that he had previously killed Tuff and stuffed him in a suitcase. He manipulates Herbie into revealing the location of Mark, another gang member who tormented Anthony, before stabbing him to death. Unlike his former associates, Mark has abandoned crime and lives with his wife and children. When he realises that Richard is coming for him, he confesses to his wife that the gang gave Anthony LSD, tortured and humiliated him in a ruined church and abandoned him. Anthony hanged himself shortly afterwards. Richard abducts Mark and takes him to the place where Anthony died. Mark expresses regret for not interfering with Anthony's abuse. Richard, who callously reveals that he was embarrassed by Anthony, concludes that his revenge mission has turned him into a monster, and forces Mark to stab him to death. Mark stumbles home, sobbing with blood on his hands.
