W riter/director Gerard Johnson (Hyena) delivers a striking take on toxic masculinity with this artfullooking black-and-white drama. Cavan Clerkin is Simon, a call-centre worker who finds a way out of his dead-end life when he joins a gym and meets personal trainer Terry (Craig Fairbrass). Except that their friendship becomes increasingly warped, as Terry starts to occupy his house – and life. Like a latter-day Performance, this is a twisted, testosterone-fuelled thriller, with distinct homoerotic undercurrents. Ace.
