If you loved Smiley, try The Thinning

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Michael J. Gallagher, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Smiley, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Thinning is

Barren classrooms on a grey morning, pencil scratching paper, a single buzzer sounds, students trapped in a deadly exam, a façade of meritocracy, director Michael J Gallagher helms this dystopian thriller.
