When deadbeat dad and failing artist Mark wakes up in his dingy London council flat late one morning, he thinks the worst that’s going to happen is losing a custody battle for his child. While that is pretty bad, Mark’s day soon goes even further downhill when he discovers that he and every other tenant in his estate has been sealed into their homes and they may or may not have been exposed to a deadly virus.
Thankfully, the dividing walls between abodes are so thin (helpfully demonstrated by Mark’s elderly neighbour...

There’s nothing groundbreaking in this low-budget sci-fi thriller, but newbie director Mcenery-West makes excellent use of his claustrophobic setting. I’m “biast” (pro): big sci-fi fan
I’m “biast” (con): nothing

An army of people in orange hazmat suits, setting up what looks like a field hospital. In his first film, writer-director Neil Mcenery-West — who cowrote the script with David Lemon,...
