Published

on

We’ve seen multiple trailers and seriously badass pieces of art leading up to the UK release of Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise (read our review), featuring this insane ensemble: Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers, Crimson Peak), Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman), Sienna Miller (American Sniper), Luke Evans (Dracula Untold) and Elisabeth Moss (“Mad Men”).

Now, check out this series of brand new posters for the latest from the director of Kill List, Sightseers and A Field in England that a kaleidoscope of madness.

Magnolia Pictures dated the thriller for release here in the States On Demand April 28th with a mini theatrical run on May 13th.

1975. Two miles west of London, Dr. Laing moves into his new apartment seeking soulless anonymity, only to find that the building’s residents have no intention of leaving him alone. Resigned to the complex social dynamics unfolding around him, Laing bites the bullet and becomes neighbourly. As he struggles to establish his position, Laing’s good manners and sanity disintegrate along with the building. The lights go out and the elevators fail but the party goes on. People are the problem. Booze is the currency. Sex is the panacea.
