New Town Killers

Already premiered at the prestigious London Film Festival, this is an edgy action film shot by ex-punk lead singer Richard Jobson. Set on the gritty streets of Edinburgh, it traces the life of teenager Sean Kelly (James Anthony Pearson) and his sister Alice (Liz White) as they struggle to avoid debt collectors and meet mysterious strangers. Described by critics as an “ambitious and kinetic thriller, a tension-packed joyride”, it is set for a cinema release early this year.

  1. Great news! Thanks for the information! I will get tickets for this as soon as they go on sale!

    I will also go to see the film again in Edinburgh Film House. I do get emails from them, but not until the week before, so I will make a point of checking their listings earlier!

    Thanks again, Sue!
