Thought I'd share this: Ben Wheatley's new film available on multi-formats tomorrow, including free on Film4. Excited by this as Down Terrace & Kill List are superb.

Won't be for Granny!

What do you think of the multi-format idea, and what is, realistically the aim?

 

[MK Shrimper]

It's a great idea if it gets an indie, low budget picture a wider audience. The big Hollywood films dominate the cinema leaving little room for films like this, especially outside of big cities. I hope more films follow suit.

Bump! 10.45 tonight, Film4.

Er, sorry about that. :blush:

Recorded it - not good then?

Check the film review thread mate, it was dreadful.

Watched it last night when a bit drunk. Weird as hell and not particularly great, but the mushrooms bit was quality. Really trippy.

I liked it. Made you think. Good interview after as well.

The best scene was after Shearsmith went into the tent, his expression was haunting.

Yer and I thought now something might finally happen as this is allegedly a horror film. I was very wrong.

Also, I was expecting Noel Fielding to turn up in an interesting hat so it could turn into an episode of The Mighty Boosh.

I didn't see The Mighty Boosh so can't comment.

It wasn't really a horror film, it had elements of horror. It also had elements of fantasy. You couldn't really pinpoint it. Much like his other films.

Yes agreed (haven't seen Sightseers) but at least they had a coherent story! That should always be the main feature of a film in my eyes - everything else is secondary.

Why? I understood the story - the bad guy wanted treasure and Shearsmith was the man who could guide him there. The others helped him dig for it.
