Ever Wanted Something More? Watch Ben Wheatley's First HIGH RISE Trailer

Ben Wheatley's adaptation of JG Ballard's High Rise alternately confused and delighted audiences on the festival circuit with - in broad strokes - those who turned up looking forward to the new Tom Hiddleston / Luke Evans film left wondering what had just been done to them while the Wheatley / Ballard set, who knew what was about to be done to them, by and large left rather more appreciative of the experience. This is a dark and stylish and twisted descent into madness and with the film having freshly landed US distribution the first trailer has arrived online for the UK release.

Packaged as a sort of faux promotional video for the high rise complex itself the characters and at least tastes of the story are on display here but it's the culture of the thing, the building itself and the dynamics it creates, that are most front and center. So if you're ready to enter the high rise, check out the trailer below.
