Containment (I) (2015)
7/10
Surprisingly enjoyable film.
7 January 2016
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.

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.
