Cherry Tree Lane2010
“No warning. No mercy. No escape.”
Directed by Paul Andrew Williams
The premise
Prosperous professional couple Mike and Christine are settling in for a standard evening of wine, TV and low-level marital hostility when a ring on their doorbell changes everything. Turns out their son Sebastian is in a little trouble with some local boys, who are quite prepared to camp out and wait for him to get home ... the resulting culture-clash chamber drama is raw, revealing and nerve-splittingly tense.
Horror Vault's take
When a group of young men force their way into a middle-class London home, an ordinary couple's evening becomes a prolonged nightmare of fear and powerlessness. Director Paul Andrew Williams strips away the comforts of domesticity to expose the fractures already lurking beneath the surface of one family. Shot with unflinching restraint, the film delivers sustained dread through atmosphere and character rather than elaborate set-pieces. It is a tightly wound home-invasion thriller that lingers long after the credits roll.
