A mother’s love can move mountains. It must in the case of Paul Dood (Tom Meeten) since he doesn’t really have anything else propelling him forward. Did he aspire to be a superstar? No. He merely asked his mom (June Watson’s Julie) if she thought he had what it took while watching an episode of Britain’s Got Talent. She of course said yes. She said he was “better than anyone else on that show.” Love is blind, though, and unwittingly creates lies—Paul is hardly a Susan Boyle with talent to spare if someone would simply give him a chance. He’s not even a William Hung earning views for second-hand embarrassment. He’s lucky to get three viewers per stream: Mum, Clemmie (Katherine Parkinson), and Bruce (Jarred Christmas).

When it comes to writer/director Ben Wheatley all bets are really well and truly off. Over the course of his career, he has released a divisive, incredible and disturbing collection of pictures upon us, some better than others but every film his name is on is immediately one that you must see to make up your own mind on. It is quite the trick to be a director whose work, no matter what form it takes, demands your undivided attention and Wheatley’s latest, in folkish horror In The Earth, may be his most psychedelic film yet.
The film is set in the late stages of a pandemic ravaged world (familiar?), as people are looking for some semblance of normality again, learning to live in spite of the virus, and seeking the right cure. Martin Lowery (rising star Joel Fry) is a scientist sent to a government-controlled outpost in the forestlands of Bristol,...

Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival got an early 25th birthday present in the form of James Gunn’s “Suicide Squad,” which will receive a special screening on Aug. 4, the day before Fantasia officially kicks off with the world premiere of Julien Knafo’s zombie thriller “Brain Freeze.” Gunn is a long-time friend of the fest, having first attended in 1997 before later returning for the Canadian premiere of his Marvel blockbuster “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
Fantasia also unveiled its second wave of features participating at this year’s festival, joining a raft of titles announced in May, and will announce the rest of its slate in late July along with details on several virtual events and this year’s juries.
New world premieres, joining the a six-pack announced last month, include Ruth Platt’s “Martyrs Lane,” Anna Zaytseva’s feature debut “#Blue_Whale,” Jonathan Rhys Meyers-starrer “Yakuza Princes” from filmmaker Vicente Amorim,...

In the Earth, the new film from Ben Wheatley (Kill List), begins with images all to familiar images of people in masks and hazmat suits. Here, as in real life, the world is in the grip of a pandemic. It’s against this backdrop that Martin Lowery (Joel Fry; Silent Night) arrives at a vacation lodge repurposed as a research facility. He’s there to try to find Olivia Wendle (Hayley Squires; In Fabric) a scientist who went missing in the surrounding forest.
With Alma, one of the park rangers as a guide he ventures into the woods. It doesn’t take long before they’re attacked in their sleep and their shoes stolen. They’re found by Zach who has been illegally living in the woods. He offers to help,...

Tactfully crafting a horror about (and during) the Coronavirus pandemic must have been no simple task. Despite having genuine dread to draw from, it would be too easy to tastelessly exploit Covid as a tool to terrorise and risk offending or alienating those suffering because of it who are seeking cinema as a means to escape.
Instead of blandly sensationalising Covid or reducing it to a component, writer/director Ben Wheatley’s ninth feature, In The Earth, lets the virus reside in the story’s backdrop, insentiently feeding setting and context like a slumbering beast teat, without drawing from the pandemic as a primary source of despair.
Set between lockdowns, the story centres on Martin Lowery (Joel Fry), a thirty-something scientist who travels to a remote forest lodge to meet park scout Alma (Ellora Torchia), who plans to guide him to a medical facility, fifteen miles into the forest, so...

A dream show for Bill Maher Friday dwelled for a big chunk of the hour on his favorite topic, cancel culture, with two likeminded panelists egging each other on in defense of would-be Teen Vogue editor Alexi McCammond and irritation at Turner Classic’s “reframed” movies.
“I don’t want to talk about cancel culture every week but I don’t think people understand how much this is a tsunami and how fast the goalposts change, almost on a weekly basis. It’s not just what you do but anything you’ve ever done. It’s not just about what you say but what you listen to, what you order, who you say you like, any sort of association,” the comedian ranted on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher. He compared the current climate with the 1950’s Hollywood blacklist. “People go to parties now and they’re like, ‘Can I talk?...

The SXSW Film Festival has announced the winners of its juried and special awards on Friday.

Top Grand Jury awards went to Narrative Feature Competition winner “The Fallout” from director Megan Park, which was picked up by Universal late last year, and Jeremy Workman’s documentary “Lily Topples the World.”
The festival virtually screened 75 features, 84 shorts and music videos, 11 episodic selections, 20 virtual cinema projects, 14 title design entries, and 34 special events. Fifteen juries — which included IndieWire’s own Kate Erbland, plus industry heavy-hitters like Jason Blum and Sheila Nevins — bestowed awards to over three dozen titles.
The all-virtual festival wraps Saturday at 11:59 p.m. Ct; Audience Award voting continues for 24 hours after that. Those awards will be announced on sxsw.com on Tuesday.

There’s a pointed takedown of very-online living fighting to emerge from the many zany, bloody distractions of “Paul Dood’s Deadly Lunch Break,” though even if it succeeded, it probably wouldn’t be all that fresh. Wringing bleak comedy from the psychological collapse of a naive middle-aged man chasing talent-show glory, this uneven sophomore feature from director Nick Gillespie most resembles a grindhouse marriage of “Joker” and “Ingrid Goes West,” with its makeup left to run in a gray British drizzle. The celebrity-forging cycle of reality TV and the false validation of social media likes aren’t exactly hard targets, so Gillespie’s film can’t help but hit them squarely here and there. Yet it’s hard to escape the queasy sense that such points are also being scored at the expense of a vulnerable protagonist’s mental frailty, at which stage the laughs rather dry up.

It’s hard to believe that it’s already time for the SXSW Film Festival once again, but here we are. For the 2021 iteration of the fest, SXSW is going virtual, which gives more people the opportunity to get to experience their brilliant lineup of films this year. As someone who is already well into my SXSW viewings for this year, I can confidently say that this might be SXSW’s best slate of Midnighters from top to bottom, and a few other genre and genre-adjacent films that are premiering in other sections are very much worth your time as well.
So, if you’re looking to check out some excellent horror and sci-fi cinema during this year’s SXSW from the comfort of your own home, here are 15 different projects you’ll definitely want to make time for. Oh, and because I included both How it Ends and Violation during my Sundance 2021 preview,...

If an Illinois lawmaker has their way, then Grand Theft Auto and other violent video games could soon be “banned” in that state. Why? Well, along with the usual moral panic excuses, it seems that Rep. Marcus C. Evans, Jr. believes GTA could be partially responsible for recent Chicago crime waves.
This proposal (House Bill 3531) is actually an amendment to a 2012 law that prohibits the sale of certain video games to minors. Under the new bill, restrictions would be expanded to prevent all sales of what the documents refer to as “violent video games.”
In the bill, a violent video game is described as a game that “allows a user or player to control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal.” As you have probably gathered,...

Tank 432 Blu-ray& DVD: "Available April 4th, 2017 from Scream Factory in conjunction with IFC Midnight comes Tank 432, a mind-bending plunge into hallucinatory terror from executive producer Ben Wheatley (Kill List, High-Rise).
Under siege by a mysterious enemy in an apocalyptic, war-torn landscape, a band of mercenary soldiers, hooded hostages in tow, seek refuge inside an abandoned military tank. But their sanctuary soon reveals itself to be a steel-walled prison. As the group succumbs to claustrophobia, paranoia, and increasingly disturbing delusions, it becomes clear that the real threat may lie not outside, but within. The directorial debut from longtime Wheatley collaborator Nick Gillespie unfolds like a delirious, pulse-pounding puzzle."

As lumbering and slow-moving as the vehicle in which most of its action takes place, Nick Gillespie’s horror thriller makes the familiar mistake of confusing obscurity with tension. Set in a vaguely apocalyptic, war-torn landscape (is there any other kind?), Tank 432 represents an occasionally intriguing but frustratingly oblique high-concept genre exercise that mainly induces tedium, not to mention claustrophobia.
The plot, such as it is, concerns a group of British mercenaries escorting a pair of orange jumpsuit-clad captives through a desolate countryside. They’re being pursued by menacing figures who are either wearing a gas mask or in serious...

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
Boyhood (Richard Linklater)
Exactly one year after completing his accomplished Before trilogy at Sundance, writer-director Richard Linklater returned with Boyhood, a film 12 years in the making and worth every minute of the wait.

The first trailer for Tank 432, a wartime suspense film from writer/director Nick Gillespie, has just been released. Gillespie is a frequent collaborator of High-Rise director Ben Wheatley who produced this, Gillespie’s second feature film.
From the trailer, Tank 432 appears to be more believable and feature considerably less machismo than David Ayer’s Brad-Pitt-in-a-tank-movie, Fury. The film concerns a platoon of soldiers and their hostages that find refuge in an abandoned tank, only to come under siege by a mysterious enemy. Presumably, it will be revealed that no force—supernatural or otherwise—on the outside of the tank is as terrifying as the human beings trapped within. Something like that.
Starring Rupert Evans, Steve Garry, Deidre Mullins, and Michael Smiley, Tank 432 rolls into theaters and VOD on November 25.

IFC released the U.S. trailer for "Tank 432", which arrives on VOD November 25th. Directed by Nick Gillespie, the thriller about a band of mercenary soldiers battling to escape a mysterious, unseen enemy. Rupert Evans, Steve Garry, Deirdre Mullins, Michael Smiley and Gordon Kennedy are starring. Described as "Dog Soldiers" meets "Jacob's Ladder", "Tank 432" was executive produced by Ben Wheatley, director of the great "Kill List" or the upcoming "High-rise". On the run and with nowhere to hide, a group of soldiers and their two prisoners take cover from a mysterious enemy inside an abandoned military war tank. Whilst they try to keep the forces outside at bay, secrets are uncovered and little do they realise the real enemy is already among them, locked inside Tank 432....

"Trapped inside here, but at least we're alive." IFC Midnight has debuted an official Us trailer for a horror thriller titled Tank 432, directed by Nick Gillespie, and executive produced by filmmaker Ben Wheatley. This first premiered at FrightFest in the UK last year but is only now finally a release. At this point, there's almost an entire subgenre of takes-place-inside-a-tank films, between Fury and Clash. Tank 432 also takes place inside a tank, but it's a bit different - with more of an apocalyptic horror angle. Starring Rupert Evans, Steve Garry, Deirdre Mullins, Michael Smiley, Gordon Kennedy, April Pearson. This was previously titled Belly of the Bulldog, and is described as a "mind-bending plunge into hallucinatory terror." Here's the official Us trailer (+ poster) for Nick Gillespie's Tank 432, direct from YouTube (via Tfs): Under siege by a mysterious enemy in an apocalyptic, war-torn landscape, a band of mercenary soldiers, hooded hostages in tow,...

There will be many family-friendly films available at multiplexes this Thanksgiving, but if you are looking for something that may put some fright into your relatives, why not have them enter the twisted mind of Ben Wheatley? Before his next directorial effort Free Fire arrives this spring, he’s executive produced a new post-apocalyptic thriller Tank 432. Directed by Nick Gillespie, a long-time member of Wheatley’s go-to camera crew, IFC Midnight is putting this one out next week in both limited release and on VOD, and we now have the U.S. trailer.
We said in our review, “Director Ben Wheatley is showing his eye for talent by putting his name behind a guy who’s worked closely with him since 2011’s Kill List. A filmmaker in his own right, camera operator Nick Gillespie has stayed by Wheatley’s side on every subsequent project up to and including the forthcoming Free Fire.

Montreal — When a film is cited as an example of British independent cinema, one normally anticipates it having some recognizable affinity with the tradition of kitchen sink realism.

Ben Wheatley's camera operator Nick Gillespie takes his first stab at directing with Tank 432. It's a "where are we?", war games version of A Field in England where film-as-hallucination is not just part of the experience, but informs the machinations of the constantly turning plot. Unfortunately, many of the twists in the story are obvious and the revelations never really come, which is all the more frustrating and disappointing considering the film is a technically strong debut.
As the story begins, we're thrown into a the middle of a war that appears to have been raging for some time.

Director Ben Wheatley is showing his eye for talent by putting his name behind a guy who’s worked closely with him since 2011’s Kill List. A filmmaker in his own right, camera operator Nick Gillespie has stayed by Wheatley’s side on every subsequent project up to and including the forthcoming Free Fire. This time around it’s he who’s providing the claustrophobic thriller as writer and director of Tank 432 (formerly known as Belly of the Bulldog). It’s a doozy too—all mood, atmosphere, and mystery with our own confusion about the action mirrored in those onscreen. All they know is that they have orders. Extract their prisoners, survive the war, and write everything down. But while they know what to do, the why seems universally out of reach.

Any thriller boasting Ben Wheatley (Kill List/High-Rise) as Executive Producer suggests a certain level of cerebral provocation, like Nick Gillespie’s Tank 432. This wartime psycho-analysis blends supernatural spooks with hardened, battlefield drama that plunges characters into a hellish descent worse than flying bullets and advancing attackers. Gillespie plays with themes of isolation, paranoia and combat insanity in the belly of a vehicular iron beast, trapping his mysterious conspiracy piece inside a cramped, claustrophobic pressure-cooker. It’s proper intriguing, yet there’s something strangely cold about the whole mission-gone-awry aesthetic – everything just happens so quick. Like you’re hooked by each new stone Gillespie’s caged “heroes” overturn, but when answers finally surface (somewhat), we realize the journey doesn’t quite live up to our own anticipatory hopes.

Besides early buzz which seems to describe Tank 432 as a cross between Dog Soldiers and Jacob's Ladder, the upcoming UK thriller is intriguing as it comes from director Nick Gillespie, who has been lensing films for Ben Wheatley since Kill List. In fact Wheatley, whose High Rise, just hit last week, acts as producer on the film.
Tank 432 was originally titled Belly of the Bulldog and you can see a sweet alternative poster on the film's IMDb page.

Kaleidoscope has picked up UK rights to Belly Of The Bulldog.
Nick Gillespie’s feature debut was executive produced by High-Rise director Ben Wheatley, who provided creative guidance throughout. Gillespie has worked alongside Wheatley over the past seven years on projects from Kill List to the upcoming Free Fire.
“We’ve capture some of the most explosive sequences I could ever of hoped for, and having Ben involved from script stage has really helped these elements come together,” said Gillespie.
“We really got our hands dirty filming this one, cutting the sides off real tanks, running people over with tanks, setting people’s heads on fire, and things like that. It was a real challenge but we did it.”

Roll up for the best of this year’s Halloween horror cinema, from the Dead & Breakfast all-nighter in Derby to The Exorcist with added ouija board experience in Muswell Hill
To the traditional sounds of Halloween – screams of terror, groans of pain, revving chainsaws, retching in the aisles and the like – come some more tuneful emanations this hallowed eve. Film-plus-live-music events are this season’s must-have, it seems. The perennial Chills In The Chapel, at Islington’s Union Chapel, has been doing this for a while. This year it brings electronic composer and John Carpenter collaborator Alan Howarth to preside over doomful synth accompaniment to Escape From New York (Fri), and a medley of clips from the Halloween franchise (31 Oct). In a similar vein, Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin perform their score to a screening of giallo classic Profondo Rosso live for the climax of Sheffield’s gruesomely varied Celluloid Screams horror festival this Sunday.
