Both Gillian Anderson and Danny Dyer have new films coming out this year – Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and One Last Deal, respectively. But if you’re eager to see their work now, you can watch their 2007 thriller, Straightheads, for free.
Directed by Dan Reed, the film features Alice and Adam who are assaulted on their drive home after a countryside party. Several months later, Alice recognizes one of the men who attacked them and, with Adam’s assistance, begins planning her revenge.
Watching Straightheads can be challenging, and although critics weren’t impressed, it has gained a following online, with one IMDb user describing it as a great film that critics treated unfairly.
What to Read Next
Someone else commented that while some scenes were disturbing and perhaps unnecessary, they contributed to the film’s raw and gritty feel, which they appreciated. They felt it was refreshingly realistic and far from typical Hollywood fare.
You can now watch Straightheads for free on Channel 4’s streaming service after it aired last night on Film4. Feel free to check it out and see what you think!
You don’t have long though as it’s only available to watch on the streamer for the next 13 days.
Critics generally weren’t as impressed with Straightheads. The film currently has a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 21 reviews.
Variety praised the film for not backing down from its revenge plot, and The Times described it as a surprisingly thoughtful movie, despite being fundamentally an exploitation film.
Reviews for the film were mixed. Empire called it imperfect but intriguing, while ViewLondon praised Anderson’s acting as excellent. However, The Guardian found it unpleasant and illogical, and TimeOut agreed, describing it as superficial and unnecessary.
Straightheads is now available to watch on Channel 4’s streaming service.
The latest issue of Living Legends, a vibrant 100-page magazine dedicated to Taylor Swift, is now available! You can purchase it at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
