A gritty crime thriller filmed in multiple locations across Kent has made it to the top of the Netflix most-watched list.

Gangland thriller "Bull" was shot in just 18 days with diverse settings including an abattoir, a funfair and a housing estate – mainly in Dartford.

Scenes for the low budget flick took place at Dartford Working Men’s Club and various private houses and locations including filming in the Temple Hill area where letters were sent to residents to warn them of possible disturbances.

Some homeowners in Knights Manor Way were even approached to see if their houses would be suitable to film inside.

Production also visited Forge Farm Meats in Tunbridge Wells and a private house in Gravesend, which doubled as the home of Marge, played by Elizabeth Counsell.

Neil Maskell, of The Football Factory fame, stars as the title character Bull, a former enforcer who mysteriously returns home after a 10-year absence.

His return to his old haunt sets him on a mission to find his missing son and seek revenge on those who double crossed him and left him for dead.
