This movie kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Lee Ross is fabulous as Mark and Louise Brealey is always wonderful. Great movie, would recommend to anyone looking for a scary, claustrophobic thriller!

PROS: Something that I can say without a doubt that was at least better than OK was the location. The movie set up a great environment with some greatly scripted characters. One location, a common enemy, and people who don't trust each other. The way the movie was set up it would've thrived as a psychological horror, but instead they went down a different alley. If they stuck with what the knew, then this movie would've been a blockbuster hit and set apart from other films of its time. The last good thing that I can say about this film was the way the plot was slowly revealed over time. You went back and forth from knowing to not knowing which gave this movie a pretty good amount of tension.CONS: From beginning to end the one big fault lied in the actors. Although the dialogue was realistic the way that it was delivered was poor. For the readers that don't know, I participate in theater and theater related activities, and as an actor I become really alert to how characters should be acting in specific environments, with specific lines, in contrast to the other characters around them. This movie however, was just very frustrating. When an actor didn't have lines they weren't relevant and they just sat their waiting for it to become their turn, this in turn slowed down the rising action leading to an uneventful climax. The only thing in the movie that was bad though was the ending. All the things I talked about earlier were "ok", but the ending was just plain bad. If you see the movie you'll understand, but the ending just fell flat and was very worthless.www.chorror.com

I don't know what the appeal is of these low budget made for cable channel movies. Maybe it's that you can tell they're low budget, knockoffs of other movies, and therefore you owe them nothing and can watch while you're doing something else? Usually, though, they're made in eastern Europe, so this is a notch above the usual...but only a notch.A couple of glaring flaws, I think. The characters are the usual types for this kind of movie, so you know right out what's going to happen to them. The virus? It's airborne yet contained to two apartment buildings? Next, do all apartment buildings in the UK have unbreakable windows? Finally, it's a good thing for the government people that this was the UK and not America. Here, there would have been some armed residents, and the government wouldn't be able to "contain" the citizens so easily.Finally, though, I did like the ending. It left room for speculation about what has happened. A nice rainy Saturday afternoon movie.

kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. beautifully acted and shot, with a fantastic score. music does a lot to keep you grounded in the suspense of the movie.the director does a lot with a little -- despite the small budget, containment feels like a big- budget feature length film. his use of space (small set, big story) is wonderfully ingenious. i found something to relate to in every character. the performances made me feel like i was part of the movie, like sally could've been my best friend in real life. lee ross' and Gabriel senior's performances were especially moving.suspenseful and dramatic, but also relatable. highly enjoyed it. i'll definitely be watching it again and recommending it to friends.
