A Field In England, prolific low-budget and lo-fi filmmaker Ben Wheatley’s latest effort, continues the original and highly distinctive work he’s made thus far but pushes past boundaries and expectations to create a brilliantly psychotic burst of filmmaking which feels like it’s ventured forth from a parallel universe version of the 1960s.
With a budget of £300,000 and a shoot lasting 12 days, it’s rather incredible the finished film feels so perfectly polished but helped some fantastic cinematography from Laurie Rose and great sound design and music by Martin Pavey and Jim Williams respectively, the film takes top hold of the throat from the off with the sounds of war invading the soundscape and percussive score belying the budget and evoking filly the...

Apple has debuted the trailer for the British gangster thriller Down Terrace, which, according to The Playlist, has been quietly racking up the accolades during its festival run. The film will be released in New York and Los Angeles on October 8, and will expand in the weeks after.
Down Terrace is directed by Ben Wheatley, and its principal cast members are Julia Deakin, Sara Dee, and Robert Hill. The trailer certainly makes it seem to be an genre-leaping effort, and even though I’m not very familiar with the talent involved, I’m looking forward to giving this one a shot.
Plot: Down Terrace stars real life father and son Bob and Robin Hill as Bill and Karl, the heads of a crime family struggling to keep their business together as infighting and a police informant in their midst threaten to unravel it completely. Featuring stars of such beloved British TV shows as “Spaced,...

Horror Vault 3 DVD Art
Director/writer: Johan A. Kruger.
The horror short "Zombie Office" is, in this opinion, the best feature in the latest and last Horror Vault anthology. The Horror Vault 3 has five stories in total, which include "A Christmas Haunting," "Undone," "Unchangeable," "The Psychomanteum," and the title, which will be reviewed here, "Zombie Office." This undead short is director Johan A. Kruger's second production at the helm and the feature offers enough comedy to make the film interesting and fun. This film stands out from the others by offering not only comedy, but a likable protagonist, who goes through the film stapling the many deadheads in the film.
The film begins with Jacob (Jonathan Baker) returning to the office only to find that a new boss has stepped in. This new head honcho has a flair for being a dominatrix and for testing her employee's resolve.

Cinematical have posted an exclusive poster for Down Terrace, an upcoming family-orientated crime comedy. Directed by first-timer Ben Wheatley and starring Robin Hill, Julia Deakin, Rupert Hill and Sara Dee; the UK production has won awards at both Raindance and the Boston Independent Film Festival.
Synopsis: After serving jail time for a mysterious crime, Bill and Karl get out of jail and become preoccupied with figuring out who turned them in to the police. On top of that, the “family business” is on the rocks, and the motley crew of criminals who operate out of Down Terrace aren’t feeling terribly trusting of one another. It might look like an ordinary house, but at Down Terrace, the walls are closing in…
Ben Wheatley’s directing style has been compared to the likes of Ken Loach, Mike Leigh and The Coen Brothers, making this a UK crime comedy worth a viewing.
