This is the review of Cherry Tree Lane, which is screening at Edinburgh International Film Festival. The film stars Rachael Blake, Tom Butcher, Jumayn Hunter, Ashley Chin, Sonny Muslim, Jennie Jacques, Corinne Douglas, Kieran Dooner and Tom Kane, and is directed by Paul Andrew Williams. A couple argue over dinner, she slept with someone else a long time ago and he hasn’t gotten over it. None of this exposition matters as it’s just there to pass the time and never developed. The doorbell rings and a gang of three teenagers force their way into the family home, tying the couple up and then sitting down on the sofas to wait for the couple’s son to come home as they are seeking revenge, claiming the son is a snitch.

Cherry Tree Lane
Stars: Rachael Blake, Tom Butcher, Sonny Muslim, Ashley Chin, Jumayn Hunter, Kieran Dooner, Tom Kane, Jennie Jacques, Corinne Douglas | Written and Directed by Paul Andrew Williams
Cherry Tree Lane, the latest offering from director Paul Andrew Williams, is an urban horror story in which on a seemingly normal day of the week, a normal family on a normal street in London is targeted by a group of youths and subjected to 1 hour 20 minutes of brutality. One word that had become synonymous with early buzz around the movie was ‘intense’. How very true this is, was soon apparent.
Having only recently seen Paul Andrew Williams’ last (and first) feature, London to Brighton, very recently, I was suitably impressed by his style, tone, pace and the way in which he presented gritty subject matter. I had high hopes going in to see the movie and my anticipation was quickly rewarded.
