Down Terrace (2009)
Shot in 6 days for a budget of ยฃ6,000, this is the kitchen sink Sopranos. Hilarious and disturbing, you've never seen Julia Deakin like this.

What do you do when you inherit ยฃ28,000? Do you put a deposit on a flat in Bracknell? Peter Strickland shot a beautiful revenge drama in Transylvania, on Super 16 no less.

Archipelago (2011)
Tensions in a middle class family reach breaking point on holiday in the Scilly Isles. Uncomfortable to watch, but often very funny. Beautiful digital cinematography by Ed Rutherford.

Mark Addy is a joy in this revenge goes wrong tale. Also featuring the great Samantha Morton in an early role.

The script was written in 2 weeks, they shot it on DV in 18 days in the beautiful Trossachs. A cracking little chase film with good characterisation. Budget: ยฃ300K.

Stephen McCole actually did stand-up gigs, writing his own material, to prep for this role. The plot seems outlandish until you find out it is based on Malcolm Shields' experiences.

Summer (2008)
A powerful redemption tale of 2 friends doomed by the education system. Robert Carlyle is excellent in this.

Tyrannosaur (2011)
Another bleak redemption story with two fearless performances by Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman. A must see.
countzer0's rating:
Taut, twisty, claustrophobic thriller. Atherton impresses.

The Hide (2008)
The thriller pared down to the barest minimum: 2 men in a shack. Both actors are utterly compelling and there are many little moments of black English humour. Budget: ยฃ100K.

Arnold's first feature reminds me a little of a Kieslowski. A nice humanistic tale of coming to terms with tragedy.
countzer0's rating:
People who added this item 476 Average listal rating (255 ratings) 7.4 IMDB Rating 7.6
Meadows and Considine's revenge tale is utterly compelling, never glossing over the complexities and consequences of revenge. Made for ยฃ700K.
countzer0's rating:
Jobson's semi-autobiographical tale of growing up in an alcoholic family is powerful and personal.
countzer0's rating:
