Ben Wheatley’s Bulk Trailer [2026]

Film director Ben Wheatley returns with psychedelic black and white science fiction B-movie, Bulk.

Bulk stars Sam Riley as Corey Harlan who is sent to investigate a brain colliding machine and is tasked with finding its insane inventor Anton Chambers through multiple dimensions.

Bulk looks like a lot of fun and is threaded with black humour and model making, riffing on classic science fiction such Quatermass, Alphaville and Primer, and maybe even Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. I’m a big fan of Wheatley’s early work such as A Field In England, High Rise, Sightseers, Kill List, and Bulk marks Wheatley’s return to more personalised low budget film making following his foray into Hollywood big budget productions with his Jaws baiting The Meg 2 sequel starring Jason Statham.

Bulk is currently on a UK tour with a director Q&A so catch it at your local cinema or arts centre if you can.

Bulk is released in cinemas from January 15th 2026.

Lockdown 3 Part 4 : Ben Wheatley's In The Earth

Director Ben Wheatley returns to his early folk horror roots with In The Earth, a worthy low budget successor to A Field In England. Filmed in 2020 during a very real global pandemic, it stars Joel Fry, Ellora Torchia, and Reece Shearsmith (Psychoville / League Of Gentlemen) in a search for a cure to a disasterous virus in a forest where madness, myth and psychedelica collide. Released 23/04/2021.

Synopsis : “As the world searches for a cure to a disastrous virus, a scientist and park scout venture deep in the forest for a routine equipment run. Through the night, their journey becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness, the forest coming to life around them.”
