The Warehouse (II) (2013)
8/10
Impressive Debut
9 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Saw a screening of this film recently and thought it to be an impressive debut feature. An unsettling story and well executed with natural performances.

The Filmmakers at the screening described how they made the film over a long period of time and on an incredibly tight budget, would be interesting to see what they could achieve with higher budget.

I was impressed with the some of the technical standards that were maintained over the long shooting period. The continuity, lighting, costume and performances were accurate and even.

The astute use of locations allowed the directors to create a claustrophobic atmosphere which was reflected in the lead characters spintail (back) into his personal addictions, while his family grow distant and into the arms of others.

There is genuine chemistry between the lead characters, which again, is difficult to maintain over a long period of filming sporadically.

Worth watching the film and worth watching the team behind the film for the future.

Why didn't this get a release?
20 January 2008
I saw this in a test screening and really liked it, I've just come across it on IMDb and thought I should leave a review.

I think the producers went bust or something so it never got a distribution deal in the UK. It's such a shame as the cast are great, Ricky T and Johnny Vegas (back when he was really funny and not just 18 stone of idiot) in particular. The young kids were excellent finds as well.

The script could have done with a little longer in development and the some of gags fell short, but on the whole the characters are really funny and the whole thing is very fresh and different. The ending really warms the heart as well, without being too preachy and getting all religious.

I would watch this again and would recommend it to others too.
