MINDHORN In the 80’s Richard Thorncroft was Mindhorn - TV’s greatest detective complete with a bionic eye that let him literally see the truth. 25 years later, he’s washed up, shuffling from audition to audition, wearing an unconvincing toupee and definitely not living the high life. That is until an insane serial killer calls the police and demands to speak to Detective Mindhorn.

Life for party-girl Gloria takes a turn for the worse when her ex-boyfriend kicks her out and she has to move back home. On the other side of the world a ‘Colossal’ monster pops up, terrorising the people of Seoul on a nightly basis and threatening to change the course of human history.

But there’s more to the story and it seems that Gloria and the monster are connected – when she moves, it moves. With her friend Oscar, she tries (largely unsuccessfully) to make sense out of her bizarre situation.
