Ben Wheatley is one of the most original and unpredictable British directors of his generation.
His films—from the psychological thriller Kill List (2011) to the dystopian High-Rise (2015), from the dark comedy Sightseers (2012) to the blockbuster Meg 2: The Trench (2023)—refuse to fit into a single genre, blending horror with satire, violence with absurd humour, and conventional storytelling with pure experimentation.
Wheatley is a filmmaker of contrasts: an auteur capable of moving from arthouse productions to studio films without losing his distinctive voice.
With his latest film, screening at Transilvania IFF.25, Wheatley returns to where he feels most at home: the controlled chaos of independent filmmaking made on minimal budgets, with improvised cameras and limitless imagination.
Bulk is both a sci-fi thriller and a love letter to cinema itself—a film not to be missed on the big screen. Starring Sam Riley and Romanian-born actress Alexandra Maria Lara.
Audiences will have the opportunity to meet Ben Wheatley and Sam Riley at the screening of Bulk.
