Taut, superbly executed and consistently engrossing.” - Hollywood Reporter

Kidnapped, thrown in a van and locked away in a purpose-built room, it seems the end is nigh for Alice Creed (played by Gemma Arterton). But as with all well-laid schemes, in the end it's the little details that will bring the assailants undone.

A taut British thriller that twists and turns all the way to the end, The Disappearance of Alice Creed sticks three characters in an impossible situation and watches as they try to worm their way out. The debut feature from filmmaker J. Blakeson weaves a tale of temptation and greed reminiscent of Danny Boyle's early work.

“Cult status would appear to be firmly in this film's grasp.” - Screen International
