The residents of an apartment tower witness a murder, and a year later they are picked off one by one by a sniper.

2/5

The film is efficiently made and more realist than some of its ilk, in that the desperate inhabitants seem credible. What it lacks is directorial flair.

2/5

It's not a bad idea for a movie, but what we get is undercooked, with poor logic and even poorer pacing conspiring to prevent any much-needed tension to build.

3/5

An unusual, scuzzy setting for a thriller that delivers with brutal simplicity.

What's missing is a fully rounded plot and any real character development.

2/5

At very best, this cheap horror is a run-of-the-mill British exploitation flick with nothing new to say; at worst, it's classist, deeply conservative and completely narrow-minded.

Though suspension of disbelief is a pre-requisite, [this] is a rather gripping thriller...

So many good British actors but such a terrible film!

When Jimmy is brutally murdered by two hooded figures, Becky, Kurtis, Neville and the other residents of the Serenity House tower block are witnesses to the killing but, fearing retribution, are too scared to give detectives any information and the police investigation is going nowhere. One year later, someone has decided to take justice into their own hands. Picked off one by one, the tenants of Serenity House are under threat from a mystery sniper who has set deadly traps throughout the building. Unsure of why they have been targeted, the group undertake daring attempts to escape the building. An exciting story, but could have been much better if not for obvious plot holes.
