Bulk

2026 · 90 min

A scrappy, mind-bending sci-fi chase that feels like a grimy, darkly funny puzzle box.

Directed by
Ben Wheatley
Genres
Action, Science fiction
Tagline
Narrative is tyranny.
Overview
When an over zealous scientist pushes his experiments with string theory too far, his brane explodes. That's "brane", not "brain", meaning someone has to sort out the mess he has created. Corey Harlan is sent in – kicking and screaming – to find the heart of the brane and its creator.
How it feels
Tense, dark, absurd and cynical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About
Science, obsession, identity, survival
Content
Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
