Down Terrace (2010)
Directed by Ben Wheatley
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..

What critics compared Down Terrace to
At first, director and co-writer Ben Wheatley (“Down Terrace’’) lulls us into thinking he has made a domestic drama, albeit a nasty one.
Following up his impressive debut, Down Terrace, Ben Wheatley's Yorkshire-based crime thriller swerves with abrupt satisfaction into horror in its final moments.
Cowriter (with Amy Jump)/director Ben Wheatley's first feature, "Down Terrace," was a nasty little blackly comic family crime thriller.
"Kill List," a small, tight film by director and co-writer Ben Wheatley (“Down Terrace”) about two killers-for-hire returning to the field after a botched job plays like low-key British Tarantino until act three, when it goes off the rails in such a fashion as to suggest it never knew there were rails underneath it to begin with.
La pelￜcula se puede leer como la consecuencia lￜgica y demencial de una deriva que empezￜ en 2009 con Down terrace, continuￜ con Kill list y tuvo en Turistas, quizￜ su pelￜcula menos lograda, su momento de rendiciￜn.
Adapted from a 1975 novel by J.G. Ballard, the fifth film from British director Ben Wheatley (in collaboration once again with writer, co-editor and partner Amy Jump) represents a significant leap forward both in scope and ambition, while retaining the director’s signature blend of grim suburban horror and dark humour that characterised his earlier films such as Down Terrace, Kill List and Sightseers.
