Wikipedia article






'Dead Babies' ('Mood Swingers' for US release) is a 2000 British film directed by William Marsh. It is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by Martin Amis.

Plot



When a group of young English friends, living together in a bizarre house just outside of London, invite three Americans over for a drug fuelled weekend, things really kick off.

As the two cultures collide and the chemicals take over, it soon becomes apparent that one of the weekend guests is a member of a newly formed net-based terrorist group, The Conceptualists, whose underlying principle is extreme violence for its own sake.

It also becomes apparent that the assembled guests are the next intended victims for the Group's website. The party stops partying.
