"Down Terrace" (2009) Directed by Ben Wheatley

“I feel like a teenage, tantric Superman!”.

Written, Produced and edited by Ben Wheatley and Robin Hill, this 89 minute film with a total cast list of just sixteen actors is simply incredible. I find this film fascinating and the waxing lyrical above is also a tribute to Director of Photography Laurie Rose who with Ben blend moments of bone crunching and deeply dark humour with brilliant character portrayals and a real grating angst that runs through the entire film. With fifteen minutes to go you may be shaking your head at the achievement of this debut film from Wheatley.

By the end of those fifteen minutes, you’ll be picking your jaw off the floor.

An incredible first feature film.
