For the first time available to read, the screenplays for Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump’s award-winning, groundbreaking films Kill List, A Field in England, and In the Earth.
“How can I help you, traveller? Let me guide you out of the woods.”
Cornerstones of modern British folk horror, Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump’s Kill List, A Field in England, and In the Earth together form a singular body of work, revealing England,past and present, as a landscape shaped by history, power, and the occult.
Kill List follows two ex-military hitmen on a routine contract that draws them into a nightmarish world of cult practice and conspiracy, with devastating consequences.
A Field in England, widely regarded as one of the most important British films of the past fifty years, is a hallucinatory journey into the seventeenth-century English Civil War, drawing on the psychedelic legacy of British magical and visionary traditions.
In the Earth, conceived during the COVID pandemic, explores isolation, ecology, and belief as a researcher ventures into the wilderness in search of a colleague lost while pursuing a cure for a deadly disease.
Three Screenplays collects the shooting scripts for all three films, available to read together for the first time. With a preface by Ben Wheatley and an introduction by Tariq Goddard, this volume offers a rare insight into one of the most distinctive collaborations in contemporary British cinema.
