StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Páiric O'Corráin Containment: Would Southampton be improved by a Viral Outbreak? Well thats what happens in this film which was made and set in Southampton. Residents on a tower block estate wake up to find themselves sealed in their apartment. Breaking through (shoddy) walls, six people link up. Outside they can see figures in hazmat suits setting up large tents. Soon residents from the ground floors are being escorted towards the tents. One makes a break for it and is shot dead.A survival thriller where the State is withholding the full facts and treating ordinary people as expendable. 6/10.
Bowserb46 I don't know what the appeal is of these low budget made for cable channel movies. Maybe it's that you can tell they're low budget, knockoffs of other movies, and therefore you owe them nothing and can watch while you're doing something else? Usually, though, they're made in eastern Europe, so this is a notch above the usual...but only a notch.A couple of glaring flaws, I think. The characters are the usual types for this kind of movie, so you know right out what's going to happen to them. The virus? It's airborne yet contained to two apartment buildings? Next, do all apartment buildings in the UK have unbreakable windows? Finally, it's a good thing for the government people that this was the UK and not America. Here, there would have been some armed residents, and the government wouldn't be able to "contain" the citizens so easily.Finally, though, I did like the ending. It left room for speculation about what has happened. A nice rainy Saturday afternoon movie.
Paul Evans Mark wakes up late, missing a court appearance to find no water coming out of his taps, his communications cut off, and his door glued shut, he spies men outside in hazard suits and begins realising all is not as it should be. One by one the neighbours find a way of grouping together and opening the sealed door.So it's a little flawed, it feels like it was made as a student film, and Lee Ross is the nine millionth person we'd cast as a lead role in a thriller, but for my humble opinion I felt it worked rather well. Lee is a great comic actor, but also credible in a straight role, he's great. The film is totally stolen by Sheila Reid, straight out of Benidorm, it could have been written for Madge, she's so good.I expected an ambiguous ending and I wasn't disappointed, I kept expecting zombies and wondering if there'll be a follow up.Imagine waking up to these events? Thought provoking, in a similar way to Threads. More enjoyable then the reviews give it credit for. 7/10
jackmeat My quick rating 4,3/10. When Shocktober is here, I like some horror, sci fi is good with the horror mix, thriller works as well and this movie had all that....OK it had that in the billing. Truth be told, this movie has zero horror elements and even the sci fi element is a stretch. All that is left is a thriller, and not a very good one. A poorly acted group gets stuck (by glue) into an apartment with no reason/warning. No food, water, phone etc. just a straight up quarantine. The movie explores how people would react to this situation. Well, that is your movie, no rhyme or reason, no actual tension and no acting that can hold the story. Even 76 minutes seemed to long as evident in the drawn out scenes that another person described as "making the movie longer" or I would call "filler" There was no real story, more so just an idea. This was evident in how it ended. Too bad, with more to it and better acting, they may have had something.
