Adam says Wheatley is so good at making things really horrible, and admits Kill List is a struggle for some people. Adam recommends tracking down Down Terrace and says Sightseers should be better remembered. Lee says Sightseers is tonally far out of left field, which he guesses is why it has not found the audience it should.

In their own words

  • Adam And and you've got Ben Wheatley who just is so good at making things really horrible.

    Ep 204 Sightseers
  • Adam And, you know, I mean, obviously, I love we did it yonks ago for my birthday, we did Kill List, which I know is is a bit of a struggle for people.

    Ep 204 Sightseers
  • Adam He's done like I say, the Gaul's really good. That's worth checking out. I'm still I mean, I'm a big Ben Wheatley fan, but I've still not seen The Meg 2. But.

    Ep 204 Sightseers
  • Adam This this came out. And yeah, Big Top Productions. And then they sort of hooked them up with Ben Wheatley. And at this point Ben Wheatley was at the point that they sort of met, Ben Wheatley was just about to release Kill List. But he had done another film, which I would say I definitely I definitely recommend tracking down, there's his first film is called Down Terrace. And it's basically the story of like a London crime family, like there's two he's basically like two generations living in the same house.

    Ep 204 Sightseers
  • Adam It should be better remembered. That's the best way of looking at it.

    Ep 204 Sightseers
  • Lee Yeah, yeah. And that's why it comes so far out of left field and I'm guessing that's possibly why it's. Why it's it hasn't found the audience that it should have done because it is tonally very like if you didn't know them and you didn't know Ben Wheatley. This wouldn't jump out at you at all.

    Ep 204 Sightseers
  • Lee I think I've I've come to the decision following this film that I've seen all the Ben Wheatley I need to see.

    Ep 120 Dracula
  • Adam But yeah, so and I told Bobby I'd watched it and he waxed lyrical about about it as well, so we've been holding a mutual appreciation society for The Visitor on WhatsApp. the other film that I got, finally got to see because it's been out in the states for a while, but it's actually finally released over here, is Ben Wheatley's new film In the Earth. and Lee, you've you watched this as well.
