It's Christmas Day and the Milgram family wake to find a mysterious black substance surrounding their house. Something monumental is clearly happening right outside their door, but what exactly - an industrial accident, a terrorist attack, nuclear war?

Leave your thoughts about Await Further Instructions.
| The LensAndrew WyattIn its final stretch, Await Further Instructions reveals itself as a hollow, hamfisted polemic, one with all the profundity of a bumper sticker. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThere's bleak realism behind the comedy, Cruttenden's twitchy performance suggesting that power games in this household are nothing new. The final scenes, anarchic and glorious, will not easily be forgotten. |
| SciFiNowAnton BitelAll at once tense family drama, Cronenbergian horror, social satire and sci-fi reimagining of the Nativity, Await Further Instructions shows how difficult it is to escape the domineering, malevolent influence of the media. |
| Film PulseBlake Crane[The] unraveling nightmare is a visceral, pertinent examination of the human condition as rules of order and decency break down and a chilling, mysterious new reality takes over. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesA single situation story that explores the horrors of family, conformity and our relationship with technology; go in fresh and enjoy the journey of Await Further Instructions. |
| StarburstMartin UnsworthGavin Williams' script has managed to pre-empt so much of the division and bias that we see in today's society and skilfully focuses it back on the root problem: hereditary abuse and toxic masculinity. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWhile most movies of this type simply peter out, “Instructions” maintains such an unswerving commitment to its dark purpose that its final, gorgeously tenebrous images will leave you wobbly for days. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiThis British sci-fi thriller is like the violent offspring of “Black Mirror.” |
| Voices & VisionsJim LaczkowskiIt isn't always pleasant to watch a family disintegrate into chaos and madness, but this is a compelling example that goes in directions that are more than surprising, they're shocking. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineGenre fans will enjoy the escalating mayhem and some moments of inventive, audacious grisliness. |
