Leave your thoughts about Containment.
| StarburstPaul MountStark, brittle, disquieting and with an ending to rival The Mist for bleakness, Containment is British genre cinema to champion and one to shout about from the nearest rooftop. |
| HeyUGuysGloria Daniels-MossContainment proves that you don't need a whopping great budget, nor an A-list cast to produce an accomplished piece of work. |
| Battle Royale With CheeseBenjamin GummeryThe film is fairly well shot but again doesn't really stand out visually and thriller aspect of this film doesn't really hold up to expectation which is instead pinned on the story and drama. It plays like a taught thriller at times... |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThere's nothing groundbreaking in this low-budget sci-fi thriller, but newbie director Mcenery-West makes excellent use of his claustrophobic setting. |
| SciFiNowKatherine McLaughlinStrong attention to detail and a disquieting score set this debut feature apart, but some of the characters' motivations aren't entirely convincing. |
| Radio TimesAndrew CollinsGets by on resourcefulness and sincerity. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanA good British sci-fi thriller that makes good use of tight spaces. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinWhile the dialogue is tainted by a few panic-thriller platitudes, and it is clear first-time director Neil McEnery-West needs to work on coaxing the best from actors, this is a zippy, clean-cut work. |
| User ReviewTrisha FFantastic start to a very good action-packed, romantic series. Recommended for anyone. This is a MUST SEE |
| User ReviewJim HA stand out low budget bio-thriller from Britain. From the script, to the direction, the photography, sound and pacing this is an accomplished work. As well as the requisite tension and scares, there's a surprising amount of wit in this well crafted script that is realised perfectly in the performances and their direction. It's a team effort in which every member of cast and crew appear to be pulling their weight, which is more than can be said of many big studio blockbusters (perhaps all this year's, save for Mad Max). There's obvious hints of Cronenberg, but what keeps this most gripping and above all, entertaining is the undercurrent of John Carpenter flowing through the runtime. From the held atmos. shots reminiscent of Halloween and Assault on Precienct 13, to the siege mentality milked in the latter and more appropriately The Thing. Looking forward to the next movie from this team. |
