HIGH RISE released nationwide today

The highly anticipated British feature HIGH RISE is released in cinemas nationwide today, having premiered at last year’s London Film Festival to great acclaim.

Starring Tom Hiddleston, Luke Evans, Sienna Miller, Dan Skinner and Tony Way, HIGH RISE is the fifth of Ben Wheatley’s features shot by Laurie Rose.

Adapted from J.G. Ballard’s novel of the same name, HIGH RISE tells the story of a state-of-the-art residential tower block whose inhabitants succumb to a collective nervous breakdown, as a result of the structure of the building itself.
