Down Terrace is an independently made film directed by Ben Wheatley and written by Ben wheatley and Robin Hill. It follows the story of a 2 Brighton based father and son 'gangsters' who recently have been released from prison. They are trying to figure out who it was that had been talking to the police to turn them in while watching out for traitors in their circle of friends and colleagues. As they become obsessed with who to trust they begin to kill each other around them wihout anyone elses knowledge. The film ends with the protaginist Karl (Robin Hill) killing his own parents as he believes they are the ones who are talking to the police after everyone around him has been murdered.
This film is a vital piece of inspirational media for young film makers. It was made on a comparatively tiny budget of £8000 that was brought together by the writers Robin Hill and Ben Wheatley. Their major filming location was the inside of Robin's parents home in Brighton with some scenes shot in the surrounding area. It's hugely basic with a focus on story and dialogue rather than action scenes.
