Tank 432
Belly of the Bulldog
With nowhere else to hide, a group of mercenaries and their prisoners take cover inside a long abandoned Bulldog tank. But, while they try to keep the forces outside at bay, the real enemy is already among them, locked inside the 'Belly of the Bulldog'. After collaborating closely with Ben Wheatley on FREE FIRE, HIGH-RISE, A FIELD IN ENGLAND and KILL LIST, director Nick Gillespie makes his feature debut.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic bunker-in-a-tank nightmare that traps paranoia and dread inside steel walls.
- Nick Gillespie’s feature debut channels his Free Fire and Kill List pedigree into tight, suffocating tension.
- The abandoned Bulldog tank is a masterclass in oppressive atmosphere—equal parts war relic and coffin.
- Mercenaries and prisoners forced into uneasy alliance fuel a slow-burning distrust that’s as much psychological as physical.
- Fans of Siege horror and contained thrillers will appreciate the film’s lean narrative and grimy, practical feel.
