Containment

2015 | 77min

What happens when an epidemic breaks out, but you're kept in the dark? Anything can happen. Slowly the residents realize that they will all die unless they come together.

”the stand-out indie feature of the year.” -Screen Relish
”a zippy, clean-cut and ingenious panic-thriller.” -The Guardian
”An engaging, tense and well-paced thriller.” -Indieground Films
”Stark, 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 roof top.” -Starburst Magazine
”The real power lies in Mcenery-West's direction, which demonstrates a visual wisdom that's truly rare in a first-time director. With a shoestring budget, he's created a taut yet understated environment for the mystery that's refusing to unfold, eschewing cliches such as shaky-cam or rapid-fire cutting for long takes and well-placed, well-crafted sound. It's exciting to think what he could do with a little more cash and a lot more space.” -Sight & Sound
