Stephen Graham’s Heel trailer shows Anson Boon’s character held captive

Collider published the first trailer for Heel, which shows Stephen Graham’s character, Chris, keeping a young man named Tommy (Anson Boon) chained and trapped in his basement.

The trailer frames the family home as ordinary from the outside but reveals the film's depiction of one family's sinister rehabilitation techniques. Chris repeatedly calls his methods 'unconventional' and forces Tommy to watch educational programs while responding to every bell with beatings, believing full control will change him; the article says there may be more to the trapped man's plan than meets the eye. The cast also includes Andrea Riseborough, with supporting roles for Austin Haynes, Savannah Steyn, Kit Rakusen, and Monika Frajczyk.

The piece describes the thriller as 'the latest to come from Jan Komasa' and also lists credits naming director Philip Barantini and writers Stephen Graham, Jack Thorne, Eddie Miller, Owen Cooper, and Jamie Miller. The article says the trailer is available and tells readers to see the film in cinemas on March 6, while also listing a March 13, 2025 release date and Netflix as the network. It notes Graham recently won Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film at the Golden Globes for Adolescence and is appearing in the second season of A Thousand Blows, with additional upcoming projects mentioned in the piece.
