For those in the know, there aren't many names bigger in science fiction than classic author J.G. Ballard, who wrote a host of incredibly influential and far-sighted stories. His oeuvre could power years' worth of films and series, so when he does get adapted I tend to pay attention.
So you can bet I was seated in the cinema back in 2015 for High-Rise, which adapted one of his novels with Tom Hiddlestone in the lead and director Ben Wheatley steering the ship. It's a bit of a modern cult classic, albeit one that didn't shake the foundations of the box office – and now it's on Netflix in the US.
