Marking himself as one of Britain's most exciting directors, Ben Wheatley did something amazing with this, his sophomoric feature: he turned in a movie that is at its core a traditional horror, but has wrapped it in bloody sheathes of crime capering, kitchen sink drama and a thick layer of grit.

The result is a movie that unfolds before the eyes into something nightmarish, from familiar beginnings - troubled vet takes on a hitman job - to a final that is, incidentally, like the frenzied final pages of a Dennis Wheatley novel. The closing moments will have you on the edge of your seat and the cruel twist ending is one you most certainly won't see coming.

All in all, this is the British horror revival feature we've all been waiting for but, crucially, not nobody has really seen.
