The eponymous Freak Shift are a special police unit engaged to fight monsters who emerge at night to terrorize the populace. Wheatley went on to succinctly summarise it as “a group of women fighting giant crabs.” Freakshift, once again co-written with Amy Jump, will be Wheatley’s seventh feature film and his first foray into science fiction in a filmography that comprises an eclectic mix of genre and art house fare. His latest movie Free Fire opens in Australia this week, and is a hugely entertaining black comedy / action movie meld.
Ben Wheatley has an almost perfect track record so far and it sounds like Freak Shift is ticking all the right boxes.
