The Soul of the ancient tyrant Sevenseas has been inadvertently resurrected into the body of a local slave. Now, possessed by the evil soul, the slave has joined forces with the menacing General Hertz Van-Hyer to locate and join with his body. Once rejoined, Sevenseas and the General will have the ultimate power for world domination. Only Dr Bradley Stone and his friends can stop them. But who will find the body first?...

Background

Filmed in 2001 and released in 2002, Doom Raiders is a parody based on all those classic action adventure films like The Mummy, The Jewel in the Nile and of course, the Indiana Jones Trilogy! Doom Raiders was bigger and better than any of our previous film projects. It included both custom sets and extensive location filming across the East Mediterranean island of Cyprus.

Whilst a parody, Doom Raiders was the first BYP production to use complete original music, story and characters.

Doom Raiders featured over 100 extras, 3 trucks, 4 horses, 1.5Kg of C4 explosives and 2 helicopters.
