Our take

With his darkly edgy films Kill List, Sightseers, A Field in England and In the Earth, Ben Wheatley has become one of Britain’s most sought-after directors. This indie, his feature debut, introduced his vision: grippingly harsh, cheekily clever, unexpectedly funny—and hard to turn away from.
