Transhuman. Berkoff plays Til in a film directed by Nicholas Winter in 2017. 
London Heist. Berkoff directed by Top Gear director Mark McQueen in 2017.
Berkoff, playing Alfie, looks worried.
And it doesn't end well for him.
Fanged Up. Berkoff again appearing in a low budget straight-to-DVD film, presumably getting a nice salary for a couple of hours work. Normally his name is used to help sell the film, but here he appears low in the credits and he does not appear in the trailer. The DVD cover above shows scenes which are not in the film and don't fit the plot. The hero Jimmy, played by Daniel O'Reilly, is sent to a prison. However it is actually a vampire lair- one of the few (if not only) good lines is "This is not a prison, it is a larder". Berkoff plays the governor. The hospital doctor, played by "Eastenders" actress Danielle Harold, is the cliché woman expert, prim with extra large glasses...
...but after some vampire fighting the glasses are out.
Berkoff falls victim to his second-in-command (sorry, that was a spoiler, but few people reach this far in the film).
There is at times some interesting camerawork...
... but generally not. The film is very bad, with poor script, direction and acting. The film is directed by Christian James, and filmed in Portsmouth, UK in 2017. Best name from the credits is Poppy Skillman-Wilson who is the costume assistant. As well as film work she has campaigned to stop the sale of seahorses who are a protected species.
The Dot Man directed by Coppola, but it is neither Francis nor Sofia but cousin Bruno Coppola. "A brilliant and dedicated intelligence officer has connected all the dots providing key information leading to the dismantling of a terrorist cell in Turkey... Connecting the dots could cost him his life".
Berkoff plays General West.
Filming was in Bucharest. 2008. All images from the trailer of the film.
Point of No Return. Not the Briget Fonda film of the same name, but the story of an aircraft crash and faulty parts from 2018. Kevin Glynn directs.
Red Devil, "An intertwining tale of sex, drugs, rock and woe", directed by Savaas D. Michael in 2019.
Oscar (Jack Turner) and Ella (Fernanda Diniz) doing God's work by executing Red Devil drug dealers.
Berkoff plays Lazarus. The editor was Benjamin Sayers. "A decidedly tedious, profoundly unfunny comedy-crime-fantasy set in some nightmarish version of a British metropolis (essentially a sound stage with murky lighting) where nearly everyone is high on something, be it super-skunk or a highly addictive, crack-like substance called Red Devil" (Leslie Felperin, 13 Nov 2019, The Guardian).
All images from the film.
The Last Faust. A filming of the two parts of Goethe's Faust with Berkoff given top billing as Dr. Goodfellow and Martin Hancock as Dr Faust and Glyn Dilley as Mefisto. This Faust is set in 2059 in a society where an artificial intelligence network is threatening humanity (shades of The Terminator). Berkoff tells the tale of Faust, though the film only follows the bare bones of Goethe, and is an excuse for a set of scenes, some like (dated) pop videos such as Madonna's vogue. There are homages to the chess players in Bergman's The Seventh Seal...
... and to Marilyn Monroe
Berkoff has the narrators role providing an explanation for the scenes coming up. Initially he is seen through the eyes of the android (again like The Terminator).
Berkoff back again with Spandau Ballet's Martin and Gary Kemp (The Krays). This time it is DaVinci Code territory. The first film for director William Steel. 2010.
Alice Through the Looking, directed by Adam Donen, another first time director.
"Alice stumbles into a bizarre "post brexit" version of London in this provocative satire, inspired by Lewis Carroll's novels".
Images from the trailer of the film and the film website here. Exorcist Vengeance Exorcist Vengeance from 2021 directed and produced by Scott Jeffrey & Rebecca J Matthews. Charles Bronson look-alike Robert Bronzi stars. "In the vein of Death Wish meets The Exorcist meets Knives Out” the movie centers on a tough priest (Bronzi) with a troubled past who is called upon to root out a murderous demon from a household of suspects".
Berkoff plays a Vatican representative who may or may not have ulterior motives. Quotes and publicity stills from Horror Society by Blacktooth, 12 Apr 2021 here. |
