No water. No power. No explanation. No escape.
This tale of the unexplained lockdown of a block of flats is a zippy, clean-cut and ingenious panic-thriller.
A good British sci-fi thriller that makes good use of tight spaces.
If British genre films frequently fall short of their American counterparts when it comes to delivering inventively realised thrills on an indie budget, debut director Neil Mcenery-West shows plenty of promise with Containment.
The short running time means that none of the characters are very developed and the plot doesn’t entirely convince but this is still ambitious home-grown filmmaking.
