"Each killing is so inventive and so shamelessly silly that viewers will gasp and laugh in the same breath, but, despite the film's horror-comedy hijinks, it's probably the most nuanced big-screen portrayal of comprehensive school since Gregory's Girl."

Stephen has a real flair for romantic and teen comedy, and horror, as demonstrated by his current body of work:
I KISSED A GIRL - a body-swap comedy about an arrogant teenage boy who wakes up one morning and is appalled to find that he has turned into a girl. The script is under option with Rachel Talalay (Tank Girl) who is also attached to direct.
SPILT MILK - a contemporary teen slasher movie about an evil mother who punishes naughty boys who engage in self-abuse.
DANSE MACABRE - a surreal horror movie set in a ballet school.
He is currently working on FUMBLING - a teen coming of age comedy.
All his work is autobiographical.
