Rating: 3/4 -- A low-budget effort by British director Ben Wheatley, Down Terrace is an enjoyably nasty piece of business about a down-market sort of underworld clan. Full Review
Toronto Star

Rating: A- -- A dark and hilarious thwomping of the whole miserablist British gangster genre. Full Review
Entertainment Weekly
Oct 27, 2010
Rating: 3/4 -- Down Terrace is the auspicious feature debut of Ben Wheatley, who's spent a decade directing sitcoms, Web-isodes and commercials while fruitlessly pitching scripts to Hollywood. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- A grimly amusing portrait of a closed system in which the pressure is building to an explosion.

When DOWN TERRACE gets in a good groove, Wheatley and Hill's dialogue is both funny and pointed...
A.V. Club
Oct 14, 2010
Its litany of outrageous abuses and horrible crimes, as it careens from delicately phrased dinner-table insults to old ladies murdered in the street, is often gaspingly, ridiculously funny.

Rating: 3/5 -- A film that is compelling in its own right, while also functioning meta-referentially - as a commentary on the gangster and kitchen sink genres it so mercilessly distorts. Full Review

Product Description:

A family on the wrong side of the law has some serious business to attend to in this black comedy from British filmmaker Ben Wheatley. Karl (Robin Hill) followed his father, Bill (Robert Hill), into the family business, which in this case happens to be organized crime, and their occupational hazards become obvious when the two return to the family home after a few days in jail. Bill is convinced that one of their associates has been talking to the police, and whoever it is needs to be silenced as soon as possible, but first they have to figure out who is the snitch. As Karl and Bill ponder the likely suspects as their allies stop by the house to check in on them -- including well-connected Uncle Eric (David Schaal), shady nightclub manager Garvey (Tony Way), crooked politician Councilor Berman (Mark Kempner), and enforcer Pringle (Michael Smiley) -- Karl gets some unexpected news from his girlfriend, Valda (Kerry Peacock), who announces that she's pregnant with his child. Karl isn't certain he's ready for the responsibilities of parenthood, and Bill and his wife, Maggie (Julia Deakin), aren't very excited about being grandparents, but the upcoming addition to the family becomes a secondary concern after Bill decides he's figured out who's the rat in the organization. DOWN TERRACE screened at the 2010 Slamdance Film Festival.
