Novice writer-director Billy O'Brien brings a seriousness of purpose and a modicum of showmanship to the task of serving generic B-movie cheese in Isolation Go to Full Review

Working from a rather inauspicious premise ... writer-director Billy O'Brien conjures a remarkable genre achievement: a somber, sad, and absolutely convincing film that is also genuinely terrifying. Go to Full Review

Isolation is a great film that shifts effortlessly from brooding and dramatic darkness to edge of your seat action. Go to Full Review

Harry L May 1, 2017 The movie overall isn't bad.... it needs it's time to get going, but is very suspenseful, especially at the end..... nothing new though, but still not bad for a feature film debut.... See more
Albus M May 1, 2017 If Alien took place on a dairy farm.
Finn S May 1, 2017 While this had the potential to be early Cronenberg creepy, unfortunately it fails in areas where Cronenberg would have excelled. O'Brien's plodding and emotionless directing with little attention to the 5 main performers leaves one feeling that it was a pretty cool idea on paper (albeit with a nod to a multitude of titles from Alien to The Brood), that lacked the fervour of a director with vision. Disappointing at best; boring for most. However, as a fan of contemporary Irish film attempting to do something edgier, I would at least encourage the genre to be explored more by Irish film-makers See more
Hermione P Jan 21, 2017 Pretty solid claustrophobic thriller. Believable story, with some great tension ramped up throughout. Awesome ending.
Leia G Sep 26, 2011 This is a very effective "outbreak on a farm" type movie
Poe S Nov 8, 2007 Novice writer-director Billy O'Brien brings a seriousness of purpose and a modicum of showmanship to the task of serving generic B-movie cheese in Isolation. See more
