He also discovers that to be free of his fears, he must finally face the demons of his past and enter the one place that he fears the most - the abandoned tower block known as the Citadel.
Leave your thoughts about Citadel.
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerCitadel is stripped down and no-nonsense, fixating on Tommy's emotional and psychological struggles with an intensity that's harrowing. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterCitadel is a solid enough horror thriller anchored by a strong lead performance and an earnest heart. The second and third acts could have used a polish to punch up some otherwise dull happenings, but the film remains another fine genre offering. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyO[Aneurin Barnard] gives one of the most compelling and powerful performances I've seen this year. |
| Total FilmRosie FletcherA gritty sister to Philip Ridley's Heartless, this is similarly flawed but full of flair. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyDrawing from his own experiences of agoraphobia following a brutal mugging, Foy has taken the emerging genre of "hoodie horror" and pushed it in novel and disturbing directions. |
| Slant MagazineJoe LeydonWriter-director Ciaran Foy skillfully taps into primal fears and urban paranoia to keep his audience consistently unsettled in Citadel, an intensely suspenseful horror-thriller. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA dispiriting horror cheapie whose monsters-in-the-projects premise plays out like an anti-welfare parable. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a basic story, simply and directly told by Irish writer-director Ciaran Foy. He doesn't try to explain too much, he doesn't depend on special effects and stays just this side of the unbelievable. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayCitadel is plenty scary: a bare-bones man-against-his-worst-fears white knuckler, shot through deep, menacing shadows. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanI think Foy simply wants to deliver well-gauged terror and make a few points about personal responsibility and the need to overcome our fears. That he does quite well. |
