In our exclusive, Nsfw (Not Safe For Work) clip from Concrete Plans, Jim recognizes that it's become time for his team to take action, but he kinda doesn't want to force anybody to do anything they don't want to do. So, in his gruff, straightforward manner, he lays down the rules of engagement: whoever loses then becomes the one who must accept responsibility, i.e. blame. What is he talking about? Jim (Chris Reilly) is part of a tight team that has been brought to the Welsh countryside to renovate a farmhouse that has seen better days. It's rough, tough work, yet it will be rewarding once they finish, no doubt, and once they get paid what they're owed. Yet even before they get to that...

High in the remote Welsh mountains, five builders are brought together to renovate a sprawling old farmhouse. Housed in mouldy portacabins, tensions soon simmer between the men and the self-entitled aristocratic homeowner, as well as amongst the rag tag group of men themselves. World-weary old timer Dave and kindly Foreman Bob try to keep the peace. But his nephew Steve falls under the malign influence of bigot Jim, the pair taking a dislike to Viktor, a Ukranian labourer.

Concrete Plans is a thriller from South Wales. This is director William Jewell's first feature as director. And, his story involves a rugged crew of builders and their growing frustration over non-payment. The builders take things into their own hands and turn on the person who hired them, leading to even more challenges. The cast for Concrete Plans consists of: Goran Bogdan ("Fargo"), Kevin Guthrie (Fantastic Beasts), Chris Reilly and Amber Rose Revah. The film's U.S. poster and trailer are here, via Dark Sky Films. The U.S. poster looks more like a concept poster. However, the title is present, along with a few other characters. Very austere, this release poster leaves a bit to be desired. The trailer is a bit more eventful. Characters work on an old estate. As the costs for construction increase, the foreman must find a way to pay his labourers. A confrontation ensues leading to a death,...

"Gimme the money. I can kill ya and take it. Or I can just take it. It's your call..." Dark Sky has unveiled a new US trailer for the British thriller Concrete Plans, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Will Jewell. This first premiered at Frightfest in the UK last year, and already opened over there last fall. High in the remote Welsh mountains, five builders are brought in to renovate a sprawling old farmhouse. When their employer tries to cheat them out of a job, this rugged crew of five workmen turn first on him then each other, leading to a bloody confrontation. Concrete Plans stars Goran Bogdan, Kevin Guthrie, Chris Reilly, Amber Rose Revah, Charley Palmer Rothwell, Steve Speirs, and William Thomas. This looks like it gets brutal fast, which it seems is the point of the plot as everything spirals out of control. Here's the official...

Five misfit builders coming together to work on a farmhouse in some remote Welsh mountains don’t seem like the basis for a horror film. But Concrete Plans, a very British movie, is exactly that and although it takes a little while to get there, there is plenty of horror to witness.
The five workers might be a little stereotypical but are the perfect ‘gang’ for this movie. You have the arrogant youngster who is being badly influenced by an older bigoted guy. The Ukrainian guy who just wants to work but is constantly antagonised by that pair. While we have the older guy who just wants to get on with work but will defend any prejudices he sees. And lastly, we have the foreman...
