3/5

A good British sci-fi thriller that makes good use of tight spaces.

3/5

While the dialogue is tainted by a few panic-thriller platitudes, and it is clear first-time director Neil McEnery-West needs to work on coaxing the best from actors, this is a zippy, clean-cut work.

like [REC] or The Mist (both 2007) but without the monsters, as a beleaguered society turns on itself and destroys its own hope.

3.0/4.0

I found myself most captivated by Sheila Reid whose performance is simultaneously vulnerable, self-assured and immensely satisfying.

4/5

Alarmingly frank but refreshingly optimistic, Containment tells a great many inconvenient truths but its coda assures us that all is not lost.

3/5

Its sense of unease and likeable cast make Containment a diverting way to spend an hour or two; if you're looking for more, you might want to search elsewhere.

Fergus Stapleton. Good allround low budget film here. Everything a film like this should be really with a good cast, well used tight location, interesting story and exciting moments. Builds well to good if fairly open ending. Group of people trapped in high rise appartment while sinister orange suited people move around on ground below. Short, Sharp entertaining 77 minutes here. Really liked this one.

It is not horror. It is not Sci-fi (sorry, but people in haz-mat suits is not science fiction as it is a daily occurrence somewhere around the globe). Drama, yes, but thriller, no. Nothing about it gave me an "edge of my seat" feeling. While it started off interesting it eventually petered out until it ended in a a WTF moment.

Solid British entry to the genre in the vein of [Rec] without the gruesomeness. Knew where I was when the lead was from Hollyoaks, but great to see the smoking nan from Benidorm! Can't see how they could have done a lot better with the budget, having said that don't think Attack the Block, had a big one, and that was superb!!
